Hello From London

[George Talbot]

Having owned a studio and retired last year,and just when I thought I would lay off photography and pursue my other hobby(hi fi) a friend asked me if I could sell his late dads gear. I was directed here by Hamish and after a quick read....Im hooked again!!! Looking forward to joining in......
by the way....we did quite a lot of retouching at the studio as you can see!!

Hi George & welcome,

It's a great place here, very friendly & helpful. I too found my way here through knowing Hamish from AoS & am somewhat a music & HiFi lover, but fairly new to photography. Will look forward to seeing a few of your images. Wow that's quite a retouch...

Hi George and welcome to RPF. I'm sure you'll enjoy it here and it was worth getting hooked again. Looking forward to seeing more images and discussing photography etc with you.

That's a Weight-Watchers add to be sure! Welcome, George.

 

[George Talbot]

The lady in question actually wanted it to send to a guy she met online on a US site....Lovely girl, but very ambitious with her diet plan,and in the end she never got to go there.

Hello George! You're not too far from me

 

[Hamish Gill]

Hi and welcome again George
thats an impressive bit of touching up!

Hello George.
I joined this site a few days ago and find it very pleasant and friendly.
Your retouching is very impressive. In my practice I had almost the same situation when lady slightly over 50 y.o. had met a man somewhere in Great Britain (she is from Belarus as me) and started keeping the diet. I shoot her and in retouch cut out about 12 kilo, as she asked. Now she is living with her new husband in England and she could reduce her weight to minus 17 kilo
I'm also waiting pictures from you as well as some retouching technique.

 

[George Talbot]

Hello Aleks,
Thankyou for the compliment,
That is one of the most extreme that was done...I will post some of the more "normal" retouch soon.Not that difficult.

Welcome George - that's a great intro post by the way, gave me a great chuckle AND set a new standard for photoshopping!

Looking forward to you diving into the hobby again, and sharing some shots along the way.

The lady in question actually wanted it to send to a guy she met online on a US site....Lovely girl, but very ambitious with her diet plan,and in the end she never got to go there.

I wonder if she thought the bloke wouldn't notice the difference?

 

[Hamish Gill]

Of he was a good enough person he wouldn't ... (I would )
