    It is best if you download the help file also. You have to download and install it separately. The www.gimp.org recommended by Viver contain a lot of information include tutorial. Go thru the tutorial and familiarise with Layer. You will be expert in no time, and guarantee that your next interest will be Badminton Photography cum Photo Editing.

    I am not a graphic designer. But you and I can do some basic graphic editing easily using any photo editing software. Here is your other photo that I already cleaned and with added 'LOH' on the pond's surface. Some people can learn faster than the other. I am still learning.

    Is this a composited picture or just a clever angle?
    If not, that's quite a high jump she has there :eek:

    I dont think he used natural sunlight as the sun is from the back. Usually for outdoor photoshoot.. you use a lighting system or a reflectors or can use a foam board to light up a person's face.

    you guys are both right, actually.

    first 2 shots have natural sunlight balanced by a studio strobe. 3rd one is mostly strobe.

    i have a Alienbees B800.

    Its all about packaging. They do look artificial. But taste good! and burn a hole in your pocket too.
