Just for Sarah..

So this post is just for Sarah. Why you might ask? Because Sarah is the one and only person that bugs me and tells me I need to keep putting up new posts. She also had a long rough night, so I thought a nice new blog post might be nice for her to read. So here is a new one.



I downloaded and have started playing around with Adobe Photoshop-Lightroom 2. It is a pretty sweet program, I never knew what you could do with photographs post process before. So mine have all been straight raw images. Not that I am saying I will be doctoring up every image, because I definitely wont, but I think it is a pretty cool tool to help bring out some of the detail that gets lost in a fast exposure. So at the moment I am terrible at Lr, but I am slowly picking it up. It seems like all the pictures I mess with end up looking like paintings and not real. It is a learning curve and I am starting to see results. I have a meeting / training class with a buddy of mine Ken, who uses Lr and is going to show me the in's and out's. So I am looking forward to that. I have also started dabbling in some HDR photography and that is really neat as well, but I have yet to find a good example of what I can do with it. It is made so you can take 3 or more photo's in different exposures and stack them to get different things in the picture in focus. Once again pretty cool concept and I have seen some cool pictures from it, but I have yet to master that either. All mine come out terrible.



So we are definitely falling into winter here, the place is getting quiet, dark and cold. I have began to play around with pictures (man, I must be bored) and play a lot of video games. Yea as fast as I want this winter to go, I am starting to realize it will just get slower. Till the next impulse....
