Natural Light

I love natural light. With all of the technology out there, it can still not be duplicated to perfection. I just love it.

Fun with PS Elements

Well, I am finding that is not nearly as easy as I thought to get actions for Elements, especially if you have it on a Mac.  Although, Elements for Mac does have a lot more to offer in itself that Elements for a PC.  However, I did find a website that has several actions, EXTREMELY reasonably priced.  So, I got a few to try out. 

 The first picture, colorcast in blue, is the original taken at dusk on Halloween.  

The second picture, I added two actions two.  The first is a vintage look.

Then, I added a color-pop over it.  I am quite happy with the result.  I think it is really pretty and gives a "fairy tale" feel . . . like all true fairy princesses should have, right?

The last is just a basic black/white color conversion that came with PSE 6.  

Although it is frustrating to learn the digital "developing", I know it will be worth it.  

What a Family!

Thanks so much to this wonderful family who let me get a few shots last week.  

Hopefully, we'll get at least one good one for you.  

This is my first editing with Elements 6 (Mac) . . . 

so much more to learn, but it is a start!

I took this picture at the when we were at the pumpkin patch picking out our pumpkins for fall.

Cutie Patutie

The first two pictures I am going for a soft sweet look.

These are supposed to be fun and playful.

I obviously have a lot to learn.  

BUT, HOPEFULLY. . . .it will be fun to track my progress
