    Too Precious

    My oldest daughter was watching a friends baby boy today.  I had taken the day off to take care of some personal business so she stopped by to visit.  I think it was more so I could help with the baby actually…but that was alright, he is such a sweet baby with the biggest eyes!  I couldn’t help but take a few photos of him.  🙂

    I Have Arrived

    Earlier this week I participated in a photography assignment on The Pioneer Woman’s blog.  She posted a photograph of her brother-in-law on horseback and asked that we edit it any way we wanted.  When she has an assignment she will pick her favorites and at the end award a grand prize as well as runner up prizes….usually a generous gift card from B&H Photo online.  Gift card = me buying some photo goodies that will make me smile.  I have participated in a few of the past assignments and submitted a photo or two…but sadly my photos have never made the selected groups of photos for grand prize/runner up consideration.  Well folks….that ends today….I have arrived!  🙂 This…

    Show Your Skills Saturday ~ #1

    Today I’m participating in Everyday Elements Show Your Skills Saturday.  Below is the straight out of camera (SOOC) photograph offered by Amanda for editing…. And now my edit in Lightroom 3.  The major adjustments was a slight increase in the temperature, contrast and vibrance while reducing the clarity.  After I was satisfied with those adjustments, I enhanced her eyes a bit to counter the clarity reduction.  I was happy with the results…hopefully mom will be too!  🙂 Stop by and visit Amanda at Everyday Elements if you would like to show your skills.  She also offers workshops, tutorials and actions for Photoshop Elements.
