Beautiful moment, isn't it? I was so happy to have my camera in hand to capture this. I played with this photo, too. Which of these do you like best?

8.20.06 Black and White?

I love this quick snapshot I took this evening at a playdate. So I decided to play with it in Photoshop. Ugh. There are 62 bazillion "conversions" (as my 2P's friends would say) to create a black and white photo.
I started with the original, and then added two of the three faves I came up with based on a couple of recipes I've read online. The last one is a simple boost done in Picassa with their editting tools.
What do you think?

8.11.06 A few I'm proud of

I'm proud of this picture. I think it captures my little bug just as she is. And, I'm thrilled that I'm starting to get the hang of creating all my own settings and focus manually.



I love this expression on her face. She's seriously contemplating angel versus devil. Angel won this particular battle, in this moment.












It's too bad this one didn't come out as well as the other two. But it's still cute!
