Digital Rejuvenation

So now that I have access to Photoshop it is driving me nuts that all these pictures from last year are so flat and colorless because my point and shoot is just not good. I went back and color corrected a few more of my old shots. I'll include the originals so you can see the difference.

I've also changed my blog layout to accomodate larger pictures. This is a photoblog after all... big pictures are important.

Check out the photos after the break

Happy Santa

The ISO was probably at 1000 and I most likely had the aperture wide open, but I don't know what the shutter speed was. I should get better at remembering or writing things down. It was Christmas Eve, though, so I was having fun. This Santa has a great face, I couldn't resist a close up. I think I should have isolated him, ie. not have all the clutter around him. Oh well. Now that I'm comfortable with photoshop again I'll have to take more time to practice/work on composition.

Christmas

ISO was 1000, F stop was 5.6, and shutter speed was probably 60. I color corrected this, but didn't have to do much. I just upped the exposure a hint. We put lights inside the branches and then around the outside, too. It made for a great lighting effect (affect?) on the tree.

The Snowman

I took this on my Canon EOS D60. ISO was 1000, F Stop was probably 4.6, and shutter speed must have been around 45 or 60 since it's not too blurry. I did bump up the exposure by +1 in photshop and added more green and took out some of the red to blance the colors.  This was taken Christmas Eve eve when we decorated the tree.  It's my ornament from 23 years ago.
