That's right, you go through all the trouble of making your house or apartment nicer by hauling yourself off to the local fix it yourself store or hiring some professionals to come in and do it for you, so why not capture an accurate record of it for posterity. At almost no cost I might add.
Parts of your print can be made darker by burning-in or kept from darkening by dodging. This method is as old as photography itself and every photographer should be using it regardless of the printing system used.
For example: 1. You can ask if you could take something off of the larger priced package to drop the price down a little. 2. Ask if you can get the package for a slightly lower price that way you don't have to sacrifice. 3. See if you can get a discount for making one lump sum payment instead of making a deposit and then incremental payments. 4. Don't be afraid to ask for a deal. The worst thing the photographer can say is no.
Dodging Dodging the print describes holding back light from selections in the image for a portion of the overall print exposure. Your own hand is an extremely flexible tool, capable of assuming very intricate shapes. A dodging tool may also be cut from cardboard and can vary in shape and size; be as small as a 5c coin or as large as the print itself. Dodging tools are often made of circular or oval pieces of material taped or glued to handles of stiff wire. The handles should be long enough to easily reach the middle of the image; otherwise the shadow of your hand will appear at the edge of your print.
With both dodging and burning-in, a constant motion is applied so as to bleed the differing exposures so the method is not obvious in the final result. If this is not done, hard edges will become obvious between the differently exposed areas. This is an instant give away to sloppy dodging or burning.
Some compromise is going to be necessary when you are trying to get your pictures for a smaller amount of money, but don't be willing to sacrifice your overall needs and wants.
