Have Fun With a Little Photo Editing.

Computers, editing software, filters, and programs make it so easy and fun to alter photographs that you take. The other evening, all of a sudden I announced to the kiddos that the sun was fantastic so we were going to grab the guitar and head to the coulees. Well, they knew that I never leave home without my camera. The sun setting over the golden grasses gave me the perfect backdrop to take some pictures of my kiddos. When we got home I was thrilled by the photographs that I had captured and so with a select few pictures uploaded, I started to edit them.

I first use Adobe Photoshop CS5 to enhance the clarity and sharpness of my photo. Corel is a good program to use too. I like to shoot on an angle looking up so that the background behind my subject is often as neutral as possible. I can play with that blank space behind the subject. I love using my Bamboo drawing pad from Wacom to doodle on my photos.

Summer Colors

Whether you are taking macro photographs or landscape shots, summer is the perfect time to take advantage of all the gorgeous colors. There are so many rich hues in everything and very little photo editing is needed because there is such an intense natural color saturation taking place. It really is a delight to take out the camera and absorb natures palette all around!

See how you can play with nature's colors today!

Happy shooting,
