Brigette

This is one of my dear friends!

Brigette is 80+ years old, has a wonderful sense of humor, is a crafter, and a most generous person.

A mutual friend is creating a history of some of Brigette's stories and wanted a recent picture to add to the book.

These are a couple of my favorite shots.

Mr. "T"

I had a fun time taking some pictures for a friend of ours this last weekend.

We want to wish Mr. "T" all the best as he leaves for a 2 year mission in Chile.

He has a great personality, and fun sense of humor. Hopefully, he likes some of these pictures as well. The following are some of my favorites.

Playing around in Photoshop

Better Late than never.......

So I took these pictures of my friend and her cute kids last December. I have been learning more and more tricks in Photoshop so I decided to try them out on these pictures.

I will post the originals and the edited versions so you can see the difference.

They turned out pretty well if I do say so myself.

I like to take pictures in my master bedroom because it has great lighting. On this day however, it was really overcast and the pictures were not turning out the way I would have liked.

Here is the original.......

It is a few quick fixes when my "natural lighting" doesn't want to cooperate. It's not my favorite but it's good to know it can work "in a pinch".

Day 2 - Brushes

Day 2 was working with Brushes. I have used brushes a little bit before be had no idea that the "brushes" you can load in can be just like stamps. Again limited to the few choices we have for the class this is what I tried for my first attempt.

I will keep working on some other things and post them later.

Day 1 - PNG Frames and Word Art

So this first lesson was dealing with png frames and word art. I still have to go "surfing" for some more free ones, but these are the photos I altered with what I had.

Nothing too fancy. Let me know what you think.

Photoshop Frame-Ups

So a friend of mine recommended this photo class from Jessica Sprague's website. And since it was free, I thought, "What the heck. I should at least give it a try."

The actual class began while I was out of town and out of internet use on my computer, but now that I am home I have been able to play around with the lessons a little bit.

I will post some of my "class projects" in the following posts. Hopefully you can enjoy them.

This will be an attempt to post some of my photography for the world to see. Hopefully it is worth viewing!
