Photo - Before & After

Photography has always been a passing interest of mine, but in the past year I have really begun to develop a passion for it. All the technical "stuff" deterred me for a while, however, I am trying to read books on the subject and better my skills. (It helps that we own a sweet camera, have the best subject to practice on (Tennyson), and I am way more comfortable using iPhoto than this time last year.)

Someday very soon I hope to own Photoshop Elements to really make my photos something amazing. And in the not too distant future I am hoping to buy a couple new lenses I've had my eye on. *sigh* We'll see what other priorities pop up first though.

Anyway, I was messing around in iPhoto today to try and teach myself some new techniques and was proud to see an improvement on an already great picture I took of Tennyson recently. So here's the before and after.

Before

After

It's not perfect, but it's a start, I guess.

    Oh, pick me! I'd LOVE to show you how to use Photoshop. I'll email you some pictures that I did for school...if I can find them. :-p

    P.S. > I love Macintosh computers and I love Macaroni & Cheese, too! Double the goodness!

    Isn't iPhoto fun times? And learning PS will be fun TOO. Especially with Cameron the mac lover to assist you!!

    Is there mac and cheese involved somewhere here? 'Cause I'll be right over.

    I am sitting here in awe of how gorgeous your child is. Not a blemish or an undesirable thing about him. I'm in love! You guys are doing such a great job.
