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.

After

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