Sepia with little Adam

I know i haven't post a picture in a couple days but i haven't had enough down time to sit at the computer and play with pictures. But here some are:

this was a Sepia BW tool at 66.7%

(ignore the disgusting table, there were 3 children playing there)

The original picture

I really just thought that this shot came out sooo precious! Now if only i could get my dumbass to figure out the b/w/color difficulty i'm having :(

New Subjects Needed

Well i'm just starting out with the whole Photography  thing in general and i think that i want to have some shots that aren't of my Family or the things directly around us. So i want to know if there is anybody out there that wouldn't mind being a subject for my portfolio. Just so i can take new shots of new things and edit them, instead of everything being of my family and our direct surroundings.  So if you're interested let me know. I think i might just start asking some of my friends! LOL. *hint hint*

Photobucket is my friend

So i was wanting to be able to show the before and after shots of my photography without having to post a bajillion pictures on this one thread. Then i Amy reminded me that i should just employ the work of PhotoBucket!! I haven't used this page in quite a while, infact when i logged in it showed the last couple shots that were uploaded and they were all in the early pregnancy of Isabella.LOL. So now that i've started to photobucket my shots i should be able to do some cool html with it instead of just having them sit one by one on the site!

i did one more picture after i updated (Edited)

So yeah i was looking on Ashley's Blog and i found a tool for CS3 that i wanted to toy around with and i found this picture that i took of Isabella the other day and i wanted to post it and see what people think. Although i don't think that anybody reads these, just me.LOL

This is done with the Vintage Layer at about 60% i believe. And it came out Darling. Or so i think.


And then this is the before shot:

Damn it's been a month already?!

I absolutely love this movement shot of Isabella and i that Donald Captured.

I didn't do too much to this shot, just adjusted the clarity of it since it was a shot that i honestly love :)

This is Skylair in the tire-swing, kind of the same type of shot that i did with Isabella and I. 

Maybe i'll take this one back to the editing table and correct his eczema patches on his face completely. 

This is a shot of Isabella on the front steps of the house eating a leaf

Now here i was just playing around with layering and texture and i found that i like the charcoal pen effect with this shot. It gives the effect that it was penciled, which is kind of neat.

Any ways, i think what i'm going to try and do is go out downtown one evening and maybe take some picture of busy intersections and see if i can figure out how to make the headlights and all other do that swirly blur effect. I think if i give myself the time to work on it and perhaps catch up on Ashleys Blog.

 i might get it down :)!
