My Virtual Photowalk

Random Photos

This doesn't really fit a theme this month, but I have been dying to get some pictures of this old gas station turned restaurant.  The name is Diesel (cute).  Finally got a chance this week and I was pretty happy so I thought I would post them.

   

Last comment...I am so excited that we are going to Yellowstone National Park on Thursday!! What a great chance to take some awesome photos.  Can't forget the tripod!

My Little Runaway

I can't make this picture "fit" into any of the June themes, but I had to post it.  Another from our train museum adventure...

 

Excuses, excuses

I haven't been posting pix lately.  I had an opportunity to go to Scott Kelby's training class in Atlanta. WOW is all I can say!! So, when I got home and realized, after seeing Photoshop in action, that I couldn't possibly do anything I needed to in PS Elements any longer. (you should add the whining in your tone as you read this, in order to get the full extent of my conversation with hubby).  So, I have upgraded to PS CS5.  Now, while it is very similar, it is about 5 steps above my head right now.  So, I have been studying it and learning new things.  I am especially excited about the new HDR features. Have you heard about/used these, Mike A.????  Scott Kelby says they are far superior to Photomatix and expects them to go out of business once CS5 becomes mainstream and not so new.  Curious what you think. I can't wait to experiment with HDR, too! At any rate, I have been MIA. But I am not dropping out - just trying to get better. Will be back in gear soon.

BTW, check out the previous post if you have not already - it's about a world wide photowalk - a real one on July 24!! See if it will be in your city!

Digital Photo Class

Hello everyone.  I am on holiday and was not able to attend the free online photo class.  Did anyone out there do it? Is there anything I need to know before the next one? How was it?

Still Playin'

I am still working this Virtual Photo Walk even though I have not had any pictures lately.  I am having photographers-block. (Is there such a thing??) Nothing seems to look right. I hope this ends soon. Anyone ever get this?

New Group Introduction

Hi group! I am just beginning to make photography a serious hobby.  Most of my pictures you will probably find are of my garden (once it is in bloom) and my 18mo son.  I am trying to take my pictures to the next level, not settle with where I am.  I love love love criticism about my photos - it is the only way they will get better! This is my first time doing something like this and I am having a blast!

Photoshop Elements Work on Viewpoint Image

I've been using PSE for years, but only recently have I been trying to really learn it.  I just got a great book and have applied a few lessons from that book and from the latest PSE Magazine to this photo and I think it made a world of difference:
