Photo Friday

If you recall, for my birthday back in November my wonderful husband bought me the Canon Rebel T1i. As if the camera was not enough of a huge improvement over my older camera, for Christmas I was gifted Photoshop Elements 9.0. Talk about photography overload!

I have spent hours experimenting with the different camera settings and the newly installed Photoshop program on our laptop at home, but I have to admit, it is very daunting (did I mention I have NEVER used Photoshop before in my life?!?!).

So as a learn-as-you-go approach, I have decided to take a picture each week and use Photoshop in some new way each time to enhance that week's photo. My hope is to force myself to learn a little each week about the camera, about the Photoshop software, and at the same time keep up with my blogger goal of documenting my current journey through life. Hopefully this does not completely bore any of you, but if you are anything like me (a little curious) and have some suggestions or questions each Friday, please feel free to help me with this experiment, I would love some fellow photo geeks!

This weeks photo- just experimenting with the camera settings:


And the photo after some small adjustments via Photoshop (baby steps people, baby steps):


Anybody want to join in my Friday photo quest?

  1. Since we have the same camera and Photoshop software(which I have never used, haven't even tried using it yet!) we'll have to fill eachother in as we go! =)
