Arls, you should have photoshopped all those poles and power lines out of your shots…oh wait, you incorporated them into your composition to make your shots stronger.

If you’re good at cloning, then clone out whatever the hell you like, as long as it doesn’t look obvious. I couldn’t even tell you’d cloned out the pole. I can’t see how this could be “not okay” if no one even notices it. Some people would call it ‘cheating’ probably, but it’s just something for fun and getting better at photoshop can only be a good thing.

Great shots btw

I agree with you Gamblor, though I don’t recall ever saying he should clone out everything from his photos. Sometimes you just miss things and afterwards clone them out..could be garbage cans, anything. I don’t get why you have to get on here and be such a smart arse about it. Voice your opinion, sure, but do it some other way.

Annnnnnnnnyway, here’s a photo.

if you have a big mirror you could use that as a reflector for a 2nd light source (but not that practical to carry around LOL ). or white foamcore or a car windshield reflector or just aluminum foil on top of a big piece of cardboard
