Description
I always enjoy taking the kids to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. What I can’t seem to enjoy is my photos from the aquarium. As if shooting a dim lit deep reef tank with a moving subject isn’t difficult enough! ;~). Out of 5 or 6 shots of a shark I may only get one decent photo and then a reflection of some kind shows itself detracting from the photo.
My query to all PhotoShop users, can PhotoShop be used to remove the reflection of the person in this photo wearing the Red Cross shirt?
Thanks for your comments and favs on the previous image.

You could clone stamp him out perhaps....great shot of the shark though, really! It is a difficult one to do!:-)

Beautiful shark! I agree that using the clone stamp would probably be the best solution.

Excellent work!

I agree that I probably would clone the reflection out using different strengths of opacity to give it a "real" feel. That's a lovely small tiger shark BTW. They are so sleek and well marked when they are small like this one.

never easy to shoot, but what I do is carefully place the lens directly on the glass. that way there are minimal reflections.of course I make sure there is no staff in the vicinity.they frown on possible scratches.beautiful fish

You might try turning off your flash, most of the light comes from that, then put the lenze close as possible to the glass, nice capture!

Photoshop advertises on the box, being able to take walking figures out of photos. It involves having more than one image of the same thing and merging the layers. I haven't done it and I don't know if you can when you have a moving object like the fish that is only going to be in one shot and that you want in your final picture. You can also cut and paste in full edit using The Rectangular or Elliptical Marquee Tool, copying on a blank area that is the same color and pasting over the area you want to cover, and then go to guided edit and use the 'Touch Up Scratches, Blemishes or Tear Marks' to smug out the edges. I did that in "Garden Path" which I posted on Sep. 5th. It wasn't perfect, but not bad. Sometimes you can just use TUSBoTM for small areas. There are probably other ways too. There is so much in PS. This is a great capture!

Excellent capture and shark! Don't let the reflection drive you nuts; if you hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have noticed.

This is a really good looking photo, and I know what you mean about trying to get a good picture without reflections from the glass. In answer to your question, yes, Photoshop could be used to minimize the reflected images. There are many ways of doing it, from taking another photo of the same scene without the reflection and pasting that portion onto your original, to painting or smudging the reflection out. But, regardless, this is a good underwater scene. Nice shooting.
