Avila Beach

I want to go back. Perfect weather. Not too many people there. Although I should have brought the big camera. My daughter was actually willing to let me take pictures of her and all I brought was my little Canon Rebel Xsi with a 50mm 1.8 lens! Murphy needs a swift kick in the pants. Yes, I know that you can still take great pictures with that camera/lens but I like having the option to zoom in and avoid getting that guy with his well developed rootbeer belly in the picture!

Senior Announcement Picture Option #1

I wish that this picture looked the same way on Blogger as it does on my computer monitor but I guess I'll save that problem for another day! Here is Option #1. I've been playing around with different actions and overlays trying to achieve a different look. I still have several more to go but I am done for tonight :)

Class of 2011





Scary to think that she's a senior. Wish my legs looked that good! It's nice to see that all those years of soccer, running, and the gym have finally paid off...

Light Play

I recently purchased some really cool .png and .jpg files that are used as overlays on other pictures. They are picture files with different types of light e.g. streams of light, bokeh, etc. that you lay over another image. They are so easy to use and so much fun. The pictures that I used were ones that I had laying around so to speak. I can't wait to try this out on some other pictures tomorrow. But since I have to be up in a few hours it won't be happening now!

Old Blue Eyes

I sure love his big blue eyes. I'm sure one day soon (hopefully not too soon!) I will be chasing girls off my front porch.

The Project That Never Ends



Still working on my Portfolio Project for Photo 32 (Commercial Portraiture). I have to meet with the printer in the morning and I'm still not done. So, I guess that means I'll have to make another trip hopefully no later than Monday since my project is due May 9th.  All the pictures need to be matted and put into a portfolio before then. Ugh.... I need more time! I would really like to go out and shoot some more since I've had to rush every time that I have gone out so far. Guess that's what I get for having busy kids...
