A Few Favs

A collection of favs from my recent editing session....just wanted to share because I really like how they came out with this filter that I talked about in yesterday's post:













And some fun with selective coloring...I don't do this often and sometimes I like the impact it makes:



I got my Gary Fong diffuser and my new reflectors. Haven't tried them at all yet. I need someone to actually photograph while using it and I have no one at this time...

Playing With Actions & Conversions

Rainy day here and we have some errands to run today so I decided to just edit for the morning until we are out and about.

I'm editing the photoshoot I didn't for my friend's sister's children. I came upon this photo which I loved although it's no traditional (not a smiling shot). I remembered the moment that I took it. He was sitting in the grass telling us a story and he was on a very serious part and I snapped this shot to show his expression. Kids can be so expressive which I love.

I thought it would be a good shot to play with some actions in photoshop that I felt gave it more a "different" look and feel since it's a non traditional portrait shot.

I like the results :)
