Fix it Friday

Fix it Friday is back. This one was a lot of fun. I decided to try out some texturing and wanted to see what I could get picnik to do on its own. So I used photoshop on only one photos and didn't do many changes. In fact the change was so slight it was not even worth using. So I opened up picnik, pulled a texture and here is my "tries." If you want to know what I did..... Let me know!! IT IS MY SECRET! Just kidding. Picnik is a lot of fun and you can do a lot that I didn't know you could do. I always like looking at others picnik creation for just that things I didn't know you could do.

Here are my fixes:



I really like this one. Not sure about the text but that can be taken off. I worked on the photo first. Lightened it up. To out some of the green. There was a light fleshy colored thing in the back ground so I cloned it out. Saved the photo. You can't "fix" a photo when you are adding a texture or something with it. It needs to be done before you add anything on top or you add the photo on top. JUST A NOTE! After finding a texture pattern I liked using free textures I added it, rotated it and saved it. Pulled back up the photo, faded the texture into it and played around with dodging, burning and texts. Again I am not sure I like the wording on the text that that is all relative. ( Don't know who Edward is.. ASK!)
This one is using the same texture, changing the photo. I am NOT sure what setting I used on the photo but I added some lip color, faded it into his face, added eye stuff and then added some highlights in his hair.



Again same texture, cropped the photo. That was about all I did on that one.



This one was not using a texture. Not sure again what I did but I can try and duplicate it if you need or want to know.

Here is the original for Comparison.

Fix it Friday

I have been working on getting the Wedding photos I took out. So I have had to dig in deep and learn a few new things in photo shop. It has been interesting to say the least but I am enjoying myself ( a little.) But, I thought I would interrupt my regularly scheduled STUFF and do Fix it Friday.




Here is what I came up with.

Here is the original.

Feel free to comment away. Some of the stuff I tried was brand new to me. Constructive comments are welcome!

Feedback Friday

I would love some feed back for this photos. I will be doing some fixes on it a little later but this is my favorite photos minus a few thins. I love it because they are all looking and smiling. But I feel the mom is a little washed out. I am working on learning shadows and lighting and this was one of the more harsh lights I have done. Overall I got a lot of good shots, a lot of ok with some funky lighting shots and some I hope no one ever sees this shots.

This is the non edit SOTC look. Please any feedback is welcome
* I like using picnik, picasa and I do have ps7. I am still new and learning PS7 so please leave DETAILED in structions so I can try and do them. I am honestly wanting to learn.

It is in Raw, not sure what the F speed was and Iso was 600. temp outside was 102.. HEHE.. Its hot here

Come over to see more people BEGGING for help on their fab photos!

Ok.. Here is a quick. I would spend a little more with it. Because of the harsh ligithing I think I might have to change it to black and white.I was hoping for some colored ones :(

Just for Fun...

I was trying out some settings and I LOVED this photo. Turned out pretty good but not near as good as Adam Barker. He takes the most amazing landscape photos! Check out his new website.

Drew, Amy, Corbin and Jack Jack

I have had a ton of people ask for photos. I am swamped with editing and practicing etc. I am in LOVE with taking family and kids photos. The wedding was HARD but I have learned a TON.



The harsh lighting of Arizona is something I am still working on. I was so thankful for Drew and Amy to share their family with me. We took some photos at The Retreat. The pictures turned out well because I had amazing models.

Thanks again to all those who have had me take their photos. I love it. I am learning something new every single shoot.

Christy and David

This is just a few of what I have done. There were a lot of candids and fun shots. Its my first wedding. I am definitely glad I had the experience. It was a lot of work and it was hot. I melted. And I got a tan line on my feet but no where else!

Congratulations Christy and David. Thanks for letting me be a part of your day.
