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.
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.

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!
Sarah says
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.

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.
