+++ Shooting +++

Today again a little more action. I have long thought about whether I post the version with or without lens flares.

Oh yes, all effects except the 3 flares were created directly in DAZ Studio and not in "Photoshop" (except maybe a little bit of highlight blur).

Off-Topic: The long road away from Lightroom.
I've been pretty busy the last 2 weeks. After replacing Photoshop with Affinity Photo 2 last year, after much back and forth and effort, I have now replaced Lightroom as well. It was not so easy to find an alternative that is also able to import existing Lightroom databases halfway. Luckily I used Lightroom primarily for management and selection and not for RAW processing (without final JPG), which made a switch easier. Somehow I've ended up with the classic ACDSee now. I've been using ACDSee for what feels like ages, most recently an ancient version from 2009 (yes 14 years old), but more for quick work, views, sorting. Now I've switched to the latest much more comprehensive version. Since I hardly do photo shoots, I think / hope it is enough for my purposes. Still had its hurdles, even had to take a Lightroom trial subscription again briefly to change the databases what, so that the import result fits.

Ohter images with her:

Spontaneous selection:

--------------

Models & Assets by Daz3D etc.
Composing, render (Iray) & postwork by me

Tools: Daz3d Studio 4.21 & Affinity Photo 2
