5/5

[nealholmes08]

yes finally found a good video explaining how to do this. THIS IS GREAT thanks mate.

[complexfly]

Thanx dom, I created a great image that told a story

[aarun3000]

Great DIY.....

The part where you make the layers and erase them etc.....was a little too fast.

Could not clearly see the steps u r taking...

will keep trying

[dombower]

yeah put it on manual and prefocus

[wwwNooBcom]

Would you be able to make a video on how an image looks in focus at one point and out of focus at another, think its depth of feild or something, i mean like have the person in focus and the back ground out of focus?

[dombower]

that can be done with the lens, if you want to do it in post production its just adding gaussian blur. if you want ill try make one later

[wwwNooBcom]

Yeah im not able to afford a camera like that, iv got a canon power shit g3 lol

[dombower]

oh right, then yeah gimp add gaussian blur, then rub out the parts of the image where you dont want the blur, same as my car photo but insted of using motion blur.

[ironkatia]

I found the gaussian blur but how do I rub out the face to make it in focus again? Like where do I find the tool that does that? I can't afford a 50mm lens either. Thank you for posting these videos and being there to answer peoples questions. Can't thank you enough.

[dombower]

use a layer mask and the errasor tool. check the other videos and you will start to figure it out

[VinceoRiffik]

Hey Dom,

Can't you just use a tripod, do the sequence of photos and merge them all into one image instead of doing the eraser and blah bah blah?

[dombower]

merge....... like a panorama????? can you explain your merge technique, also would that work if parts are over lying each other like at 6.39m

[VinceoRiffik]

merge like laying photo on top of photo,

[dombower]

thats what i did, then i have to rub out the parts of the photo that is on top to get the image below seen.... did you watch this video?

[mikegorton5714]

Did you really have to go through the WHOLE picture taking/uploading phase??!

Other than that, nice tutorial mate ;-)

[dombower]

it helps demonstrate how quick it can all be done in. also how easily the images can be taken with at the start.

(but quite your fecking moaning, dont watch if you dont like!

[666haloinc666]

Hah, tell 'em! xD

[shockerpb03]

agreed

[sexychocolate88]

thanks for that!

[dombower]

[lopezae33]

[dombower]

[Recon9143]

[dombower]

cool do it do it do IT!!!!

use different costumes and then make a video of it and post it up here for everyone to see your work!

[Recon9143]

Hey bud, i might make a few videos, well i will make some videos soon in july i had a thing happen and my d200 broke so i'll most likely upgrade but in july im buying me a Sony cam so i can make some better videos and for sure i will make some video's that you've asked us to do and try out some different ones, but for right now for about 2-3 weeks im stuck this way haha, your more and welcome to use it in a video just like this, and then i will see if i can do something like this

[rhowell5]

Excellent tutorial Dom!!!!

[engwar4evr]

Awsome work Dom! Keep up the tutorials, it's doing loads of good for us ameture photographers.

[1kroc1]

Thanks Dom,,,,,would appreciate a tutorial on the stop motion effect in some of your other vids also.

[silentkills123]

Thats awesome thanks for the wicked tutorials keep them up man. I'm loving it.

[dkamisat]

Good work!

[NikonPhoto07]

Thanks for these post editing videos you've been doing. I don't have Lightroom but I have an older version of Photoshop I use along with Picasa. I'm absolutely dreadful at post editing so anymore videos like this are a big help for me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Dom!

Mark

[dombower]

i have got a few stuck up my sleeve. again i will try and make them as simple as possible

[waselau]

ooohhh!!!! yes jajaja very very good!!!! 5*****

[TheFusionIcon]

Excellent tutorial Dom! I didn't realize it was this easy! 5/5

[dombower]

it can be as easy or as difficult as you want it to be. I have seen tutorials on cds in backs of magazines that have tried to explain this editing and it has taken over half an hour , not including the photshoot!!

[beverchakus1]

awesome! thanks a ton!
