Awakening - a photo on Flickriver

Awakening

Woah, this was one of the most complicated work on shadows I've done ever. All the green part on this image was generated from scratch. So... I'm pretty happy with the result.

About the concept: One month ago, I started swimming again. When I was a kid, I swam two or three times a week. For eight years. Even I have a few medals at my parents'. Now, I realize that I missed this so much...

Good news! On my Ask account, someone asked me to make more tutorials for you guys. Now I can't teach you how to make one of my images (it takes a lot of time photographing, editing, and more stuff, and my RAM memory is too slow to edit and record at time), but, if you want, I can teach you little tips and tricks for editing or composing a photograph, colour toning, this kind of things. If you have a suggestion, please leave a comment below, or make the suggestion on my Ask account (Link below) :)

PD: I ussually speak spanish, but I will try to subtitle the video.

_____________________________

Buf, este ha sido uno de los trabajos más complicados con sombras que he hecho. Toda la parte verde de esta imagen, ha sido completamente generada desde cero. Así que... bueno, estoy bastante contento con el resultado.

Acerca del concepto: Hace un mes, empecé a nadar de nuevo. Cuando era un crío, nadaba dos o tres veces por semana. Durante ocho años. Incluso tengo un par de medallas en casa de mis padres. Ahora, me doy cuenta de cuánto lo echaba de menos...

¡Buenas noticias! En mi cuenta de Ask, alguien me pidió que haga nuevos tutoriales para vosotros. No puedo enseñaros cómo hacer una de mis imágenes al completo (Tomaría demasiado tiempo explicar la iluminación, fotografías necesarias, edición y demás... y la RAM de mi ordenador es muy escasa, no soportaría la edición y la grabación a la vez), pero, si queréis, podría enseñaros algunos consejos y trucos para editar o componer una fotografía, hacer ediciones de color, y este tipo de cosas. Si tenéis alguna sugerencia, por favor, dejad un comentario debajo, o en mi cuenta de Ask (link aquí abajo) :)
