Thursday again?
I decided to join Monica’s blog hop again because, well… it’s fun.
Fun is good.
And I took lots and lots of pictures this last week of my girl.
Sooooo, onto the before and after, right?
Below is the ‘before’, SOOC. I use a Nikon d90 with a 50mm 1.4 lens.
And below is the ‘after’.
I use Lightroom2 to edit my photos and for this picture I used SarahJi’s “boost” preset. First I cropped and rotated it a smidge. And removed the bug (or dust, or whatever that was) from her hair.
Then I upped the exposure on her face, desaturated the green a bit and reduced the clarity. And then gave it a tiny vignette.
That’s it. The rest is just my girl being beautiful.
very cute. I love the color.
love it!
Wow! That photo just "POPS"…Love it!!
Love it edited.
Have a beautiful day. xxx
Nice! I love how you brightened everything up without losing the rich dark colors.

oh how I wish I had lightroom! You do an amazing job! Thanks for sharing.
gorgeous!
Wow! I really, REALLy wish I knew how to do that!
LOVE this one! Great lighting, composition, and balance. Love the posing also!
She certainly is very beautiful. Great lighting and edit!
And she does beautiful….really well. As is your editing. Love it!
Ah, she is a beauty..I just love the color pop..it's like "hello sun"!
Ok. I must get this program. I so need help. My pictures…my models…are so good..but the pictures just need a boost. I still don't know how to take pictures unless it's "auto focus"..lol..maybe that's where i need to start. Any advice would be great. 🙂
I am so sorry that you have had a rough week. But remember that being a Christian sometimes is not popular…or easu…keep the faith my friend. I admire you because I don't go there very often because of the negative comments…but then again, I am probably not being obedient. That may have to change, but I know that I can always use the excuse that not many people even read my blog anyway!
Love your pictures…I just joined on in over there too…the sink is full, the house is a mess, but I just edited a really cool picture!
Hugs~
I love this shot. So sweet! I love all the color in the edit. Great job!
Gorgeous!! Love the edit. I just found your blog through the blog hop.
Your family is beautiful and I love your blog! I cried reading it just now. What precious stories of your children. I'm your newest follower!
God bless.
I love this shot! It's so beautiful!!
Very pretty shot, and I love the name of your blog! awesome!
The color is great – but to my taste it's a smidge too over exposed, but that's probably the crime scene guy in me (crime scene photograhy is a whole 'different animal' – as a test – photograph clearly a spend shell casing underneath a car parked in super bright summer day sunshine…experiment with the flash off the camera etc….it's a challange – but then again it might ruin you for 'real photography' too!)
Absolutely LOVE the model too!
hugs – aus and co.
Truly lovely…… she is so beautiful and you did a great job!
