Naomi

Over winter break, Naomi and I did a photo shoot. I have finally begun editing these photos. I went to the computer lab at school (which has CS4 now!) and got busy. It was really nice to take some time to myself and get back in the groove of editing. It really has been too long. I feel so much better about myself having created something.

A close up I like.

This one isn't my favorite but I like the concept. I'm going to have to go back and use my polarizing filter so there aren't so many reflections and maybe not take the shot at noon. I think it could be great.

simple.

and finally...my absolute favorite:

I Like My Cat

So I took pictures of her last friday... and tonight i thought I would edit them. I actually came up with something i like, despite how difficult gimp was being with me. I didn't edit much, i just converted the photos to black and white and adjusted the contrast, simple stuff. The photos were shot with my macro attachment I've mentioned before. There isn't much to say about it, I just felt like doing something.

It's Really Been Awhile

I haven't posted in a long time. I kind of came to a creative block, but I've decided i need to get back in the groove of things, do some photo shoots, or at least work with photo shoots i've done in the past. I am going to try and get photoshop soon, I've been trying to use a program called GIMP, basically it's the worst.
GIMP worked fine on the PC i used to use, but i got a mac and it is simply a pain. To switch tools i have to click on each window twice and the layers do not function as they should. But despite this, I've been playing with a picture from awhile ago, from a photo shoot in Ward. Mostly I was playing with the color balance on a picture I had already edited, this is what I came up with.

1. Extra golden, a sunset of sorts.

 2. Attempting something that resembles a moonlit area...not exactly a success, but it's pretty.

 3. My original edit.

I'm a fan of all three of the edits, but i think my first edit (not extra golden or blue) is probably my favorite. Depending on my mood, or the mood I'm aiming for, would determine which picture i would choose.
