I Love My CAMERA!!

So I bought a mack daddy camera about this time last year. It's the Canon Rebel Xsi with I think 12megapix. I had no idea how to even turn it on, but I HAD to have it. You see, I've been taking pictures since I was a teenager. I have about 20 scrapbooks just from childhood to college. I've about that many of just my kids. I want you to imagine my bins stacked full of photos anxiously awaiting placement in their albums. I also have about 1000 pics on this computer. So pictures are my hobby for sure. Even with this fancy camera though, I was still not getting the quality photo I desired. So here's what I did. I took a workshop with this FABULOUS photographer. And now look at what I can do now.... Yeah me!

Mailey, my "I want to be a fashion model when I grow up" just let me shoot away yesterday.

And then these daisy's let me shoot them awhile too.....

Oh, the places my camera and I will now go. It's amazing what a little knowledge can do. Next I am taking a photoshop class to learn how to take those above and take them even farther. Right now they are all natural. Well, it's such a pretty day here in Newnan and I'm itching to take some more photos...now where's William?.....

Playing Around with Photoshop

I love to take pictures, always have. This is evident by the bazillion photo albums and stacks of pictures awaiting placement in photo albums I have in my home. Recently I bought the newest, most fabulous Canon Rebel camera. I have absolutely no idea how to use it, but it manages to take amazing pictures anyways. I needed a better camera to take photos of my art work and of course my two little ones! Here is an example of how it takes no Photoshop involved: Then today I decided to play around with Photoshop and found that I could do this:

Okay, I think I am going to take a Photoshop 101 asap! I am loving what this program to do with my little experiments already!

I have some birdhouses in the works and new jewelry to share very soon!
