Bannack: Portraits

Welcome to Bannack, Montana! The next several blogs (all labeled beginning with Bannack) are all pictures I took in Bannack. It is a wonderfully preserved ghost town and definitely worth the trip. I hope you enjoy a little view of what Bannack has to offer.

-I had fun editing this portrait. I added some vibrance and contrast to begin with. I then copied the background layer twice. For one layer, I used a soft brush at 30% opacity to make a few minor adjustments to the image. I also added some highlights to her hair. I then added a Gaussian blur on the other copied layer with a black mask and smoothed out her skin just a bit. I liked using both techniques together.

-For this portrait, I upped the sats and contrast and just let the feel of the picture do the rest.
