Soooo behind






I haven't taken a 365 in such a long time. I have been sick, AGAIN!!! UGH! I'm sick of being SICK!!! Anyway, I am posting these "outtakes" from the painted portraits to try to catch up a little. As of today I am feeling a lot better, so I hope to get back on track.

Painted portraits.

These are not the painted portraits...just some I liked.



I have been trying to finish watching my Photoshop Crash Course video, made by my mentor, Michael Andrew. In it, he shows how to do painted portraits in PS. These are my first attempts at the technique.
Before...SOOC.

This was a 365 of me and Sam on the bus at the zoo.

Let's go to the ZOO!!!! (picture heavy)


We took advantage of the holiday weekend and took the kids to the NC Zoo. It was a lot of fun and the kids loved it. Here are some of the shots from the day. :D

Lizzzzzzzzzzzzard.

There are two new photography things I'm learning this week. One is how to use my new RC1 remote for my Canon, which is awesome (a gift from my husband for my birthday). The second is shooting in RAW. I have to say that I LOVE using RAW. There are so many more ways to tweak a photo. This was my first attempt, but I will be shooting this way more for sure. This guy was hanging out on my sun catcher, so I thought I'd try to catch him....which I did...in a photo and in my hand....but he wiggled his tail which broke off and then he ran away. Darn it. That would have made a cool 365!!!
