A little editing...

I hate editing, I think it is the one thing that will keep me from ever becoming a serious photog.  I cannot figure out this PSE, it's like my brain just doesn't register what the books are telling me.  Ah, I will keep at it, but am not going to set my sights too high in this regard.  I tried a b/w conversion going for a more vintage feel, and a second edit looking at color.  

Coming Back to 12 Weeks

So some friends and I have another blog set up to practice more on our skills.  I am starting the 2peas course again with them.  Here is assignment number one.  Aperture. You can see on the last photo that I had to up the ISO which added to the noise in the photo.

 Tried some edits to boost the lighting on the previous three. Kinda bummed about the focus problem on this last one.  Don't know where it landed, maybe her jacket?

Llama Llama was at the library today.  I think these pics look grainy, but it could be the computer.  I had to shoot the last two in auto since I couldn't figure out where to bounce my flash.  Need to look into that.

So we brought up the kitchen for a weekend when we actually had no showings.  The boys loved it.  Nothing really too great, but my inspiration is coming with the nice weather.
