My camera and photoshop CS3 extended!
So today I have been working with my camera... trying to get to know it better. I worked with settings and speeds + manual focusing! It was a blast. (Having great children to work with has helped too!) I also played with shooting in RAW! I am in heaven!
When trying to master the focus I also attempted to master catchlights. I shot the kids in front of a large open window in our front room. I was surprised what a few tweeks to settings brought out in my photos! (and photoshop tweeking too!)
This one was done in RAW and then Photoshop CS3 helped me to be able to do the shading around the edges. It was so fun! I have also since learned how to add my siggy to the brushes courtesy of my dear friend Amber A.!!! She is a pro!

Now my next endevour is to get a screen calibrator so that my colors on photoshop are the same as I see them on my screen. VERY important!!! See, I see a beautiful pic and many others or even when I print it... comes out yellow or green on the other end. It is all due to my screen calibration! UGH!

Either way - I am so excited with the little progress I have had lately. :)
