Hanging Dry (February 23rd) |
When I decided to start a 365 project for this year, I had no idea how fabulous it would be for helping me learn how to use my camera and edit my photos.
Figuring out my camera (outside of the automatic mode!) and trying to learn Photoshop Elements are not simple tasks. I'm eager to learn, but only have so much time to devote to it. So a 365 project is a perfect, manageable goal for me. I take multiple pictures each day, pick the best one, edit it, and upload it to my Flickr set.

I know you couldn't possibly be tired of seeing Squishy's face....

How much did you pay for photoshop elements?
ReplyDeleteAround $60-70 with Andrew's %80 student discount. :)
ReplyDeleteThe first two pictures in this post were edited in Picnik, which I use when I am short on time! :D
ReplyDeleteGirl, you are rockin' that camera!!! I love the pictures of Squishy and the silly one of the Sisterchicks.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!!!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are great.The clarity and color are wonderful. I upgraded to a Nikon D300 a couple of years ago and I still haven't figured out how to work everything on it!Our grandson is a great subject so I practice taking lots of pictures of him. You have such an adorable subject to work with and I admire you for learning photo shop. It is like Greek to me. I am so Blessed that our daughter has and knows how to use photo shop.
