It was the first time I've ever done home interiors and I was extremely concerned that I'd screw up. The magazine wanted RAW images, rather than jpegs, which would give their art director more image data to manipulate and fine tune.
I made a point of manually establishing a new white balance for every shot, did a lot of low shutter speed-tight aperture-tripod work to get lots of depth of field in the images and sweated over every frame.
When I got home, I was horrified to discover I had dust specks on my sensor - nothing that couldn't be fixed with a PhotoShop healing tool, but still bringing me up embarrassingly short of the standard I had set for myself on the project.
I guess I shouldn't have worried.
Maria brought home a copy of the magazine last night, but I didn't see it until this morning. Apparently the editor and art director didn't share my opinion that my work was crap. They gave me the cover and a four-page, nine-photo layout inside.
Now I think I charged them too little.
