Picture #1—SOOC—Program mode/no flash—warm natural light. only ran a defog and usm on this one.
Picture #2—used levels to lighten it a bit–and then bumped up the contrast
Picture #3—bw conversion–(gradient map)
i love the WARMTH in the top two–and the way the lighting looks so ambient—definitely like the colors. The wall that I took these on–is not painted that dark—-but, I think it looks good with my dd’s skin tone.
tfl!!!!
well for the POTD challenge—this is the week of ‘sports.’ I think a toddler playdate/photoshoot definitely counts as a sport! these are some pics of our sweet friends—gracen is the ‘baby’ of the group, but they are all within 9 months of each other. It’s amazing how much difference a ‘month’ can make when they are so young.
(natural light and lots of giggles…..)
yeah! i am finally back online! yippee! here is a storyboard i did for a client a couple weeks ago—but, i thought it fit the ‘sports’ theme. He was a blast to capture! So fun and full of expressions.
Off to post on the thread and ‘re-enter’ the POTD world…..
**btw—for some reason all my pictures on blogger are blurred on my pc—are they on yours? or do you see them clearly???
just a quick post….using dh’s computer…..it snowed today!! so fun! it was the first time gracen got to experience all that ‘white stuff!’
still playing with different bw conversions–anxious to see how this one looks in print.
STILL waiting for my computer–hoping it gets fixed soon!
a few things about this picture….
- this is one of my favorites—taken in dallas a few years ago–(i know, not today)–but, i am still having computer problems….anyways…..
- I used my telephoto lens (70-300mm) with my FILM nikon slr—and before the photoshop years–so it is sooc.
- The clock is on the top of a beautiful Baptist church in the heart of Dallas. Jason and I love the symbolism of the phrase “Night Cometh”.
- I used to drive by this church almost every day—on the way to work and on the way to Jamba Juice–(which I desperately miss!)
- we lived in dallas for 6 years and in many ways our heart–(at least mine)–is still there–it is ‘home’ for me in many ways.
- this photo hangs in our hallway in a sepia tint.
btw: our computer is wacko and we are taking it tomorrow to a friend at church to clear it and reload everything. Not sure how long this will take—but, I won’t be posting until I get it back….hopefully, it will be within a week!
very excited about this….now to carve out some time to read…….
just took these and now dd is down for a nap….and i am on my way, too! yippee!!!!!
these are pretty much sooc—but converted to sepia and bw. still having computer issues and hope to get them fixed this weekend. can’t get into my photoshop—very frustrating…
oh well—off for that nap!
ETA: (re: pics)–this was one of those…“oh sweetie let’s not do that…..but, let me take a few pics first….” lol
it’s been ‘one of those days….’—-i think these pictures sum up some of it….
nothing glamorous–just candid shots.
having major computer problems–had to uninstall PSE and now it won’t re-install….that sure makes this challenge tricky…..
gracen is such a JOY and a DELIGHT to me everyday. such a blessing that i am thankful for every moment.
these bottom two photos are from today. I used a soft coloring technique for the second and b/w conversion for the third.
the first one I just threw in for nostalgia’s sake….:)
what a day it was to finally hold my baby girl in my arms!
happy monday! well this week is ‘introduction week’….so, i thought i would start out with a picture of me and dh–who is also my best friend–(for real…) we’ve been married for 8 1/2 years and I am very thankful for him. this picture was actually taken on timer mode cmas day. We started a new tradition of having a ‘family photo shoot’ on cmas and my husband and daughter were very patient with me…. since I don’t have a remote—I had to keep running back to the camera pressing the button and then jumping back into the picture—but, I like how this one turned out…
this is just for fun—an outtake.…..a badly-lit silly one…just cuz it makes me laugh…
