Sky

So my new trick this week was leaning how to add a sky to pictures. I like doing this and it's pretty easy for me which is nice. You will notice on the last picture I forgot to blur the sky to match the background. I have so much to learn.

 

 

 

This is the sky I forgot to add a blur. This is
not how a camera would shoot. The back ground is blurry so the sky
would be blurry too. You can not go from focus to blur to focus
so this sky would have to be blurred.

Journey

I have started teaching myself photoshop for a little over 2 months now and I am in love. I am a sponge and can not stop watching Phlearn videos and playing with the pictures I take of the girls. I like over exposed and light magical edits and that requires a lot of manipulation with the photos I take. I had no idea photoshop could do so much and I am having so much fun learning. I am excited to show everyone by progress of my photos and how my editing style has changed week to week. I have taken a ton of photos of the girls and I think they might be over it but what can I say, I love to snap photos. The photos below were from when I was just starting and figured out how to use and adjust actions from the Coffee Shop Mom. A great web site.  I also had to teach myself how to store and resize the photos. Sounds easy and once you figure it out it is but the learning curve is steep. I do have to say it's nice to use my brain and teach myself a new trick. 

It's a beast

This thing was a beast, I mean it was huge. It also was quite comical how long it took us to get the spider outside. It took lots of planning and equipment to get the 3 inch quick as lighting spider outside, but we did it. I hope he appreciates the gesture and eats lots of Mosquitos.  

Disney on ice

We had so much fun at Frozen disney on ice show. Kai loved it and June loved it for about an hour. I love the memory I will always have of the girls in tutu's at Frozen.

Bubbles

Wyatt was running to the store and before he left he asked if anyone needed anything. "Suzann do you need anything?"  "Kim, do you need anything?" "Kai, do you need anything?" "Yes" says Kai, "I need bubbles." It was her first store request so yes she got some bubbles:) It was so cute.

Back to school

Kai is back to school two days a week. It's hard to believe the summer went by so fast. It was a wonderful summer, filled with swimming, boating and sunshine.

Color or no?

Sometimes I just can't decide if I like the color or the black and white version better? 

I am currently trying to teach myself photoshop. I think I would rather take chemistry again. It is so confusing. When I finally do think I understand something I realize that I don't and it has to 5 more layer to the action.  I think photoshop may be above YouTube videos for me. I may need to take a real class. 

My girls

I am in the process of teaching myself to edit photos with photoshop, fun and complicated. It's good to learn a new skill and have fun in the process. 

New camera fun
