Photography Lessons

Don't take that title the wrong way. I am in no shape to be GIVING lessons.  LOL

But ever since I got my new Nikon, I can't stop playing with it. Different angles. Different Light. And of course, I have been in love with Photoshop for so long it could almost be considered scandalous. Almost.

I have always been an independent learner. It's just who I am.

So I play.

Here is a set I took over the weekend. I would love to hear feedback. My biggest challenge is that I take SO MANY pictures (always have) that I can't seem to catch up with myself! LOL

The original:


Enhanced:



Softer:



Black and White:



Which one is your favorite?

If you know how I can get the Enhanced look with just the settings on my camera, please let me know. If not, I will be expecting a new photography book to arrive from Amazon next week.

I guess I'd better hurry up with the book I am working on. What happened to The Bookish Girl anyway?

Oh! She's still here. Just been busy...you know, Christmas, New Years...stay tuned....
Pin It!

It is a toss up between the original and the black & white. I love them both. Cute little one.

I like the original!!

Hey, I can't see your post title. It's white against the white background. :) oh! also, I'm so curious about the girlscout blog. Are you doing some coding with the girls??? starting 'em early, aren't you? :D haha. it's a great idea. they are VERY lucky to have you as a leader.

Aya, just saying hello from England...I'd say the original but the enhanced is v.g. too..very pretty! Have a blessed evening. Nicky

Thanks for commenting on my pictures. I'd have to say that the enhanced version is my favorite. Could you maybe crop it so that she's not exactly in the middle. It may make it a bit more artistic. I love the pic though!
