Header Edits

Here is a collage of the same photo but different edits tried out for a new header for this blog. I was getting tired of how my blog looked so I also changed the background. 

(#1 is the original and #4 is the one I picked.)

Which one do you like best?

Color Filter/Color Splash - KayleeBeth

   My younger sister KayleeBeth is one of my favorite "models" that I take photos of. Like with almost every picture I take it's a spur of the moment snapshot. Only a few are intentionally posed. Mainly I'll just tell whoever it is getting photographed to "move a little to the left/right", "smile", "ready? one, two, three!" and then click! But then there are times when I just take 'em as they are or let the people position themselves how they feel comfortable.
   Sneaking up on people is really fun too. Especially when they don't know I'm right there. :) Most don't even realize I caught that face on camera. (Like the first one below. He he. :P )
   Anyways, Nikkita (my dear Nikon camera) has a special feature/editing thing-a-ma-jig called "color filter" that lets you make everything black and white except for one color in the image. It doesn't work very well on some photos (makes skin look reddish/orange sometimes when choosing any type of red, pink, or orange to filter) but looks pretty good on others.
   Here are a few samples (I'll let the pictures do the talking) . . .

   The "after" isn't always better than the "before" but I do like to add a bit of a pop and standing out with editing. 

   What do YOU think? What are some of YOUR favorite edits/looks to add to YOUR photos?

My Camera and Eye

Hello! I know, you're surprised that I posted on here since it's been well over two weeks since my last post. Oops. Time sure does fly! Anyhoo, here are a few snap shots from the other day of my (left o.o) eye and then Nikkita (nickname: Nikki) my camera with moi. Yeah . . . my camera has a name now . . . weird huh? ~:o)

 

Like the edits? Picnik is closing in April (WHY!!??) and so I'm editing now before it goes bye bye forever! :( I don't know what I'm going to do! All my pictures will be basically naked and look like crappola without Picnik!!! I might have to quit my blog for Pete's sake! Well . . . that probably won't happen but I don't know of any other programs that are like Picnik and if there are I wouldn't know how to use them. Yes, I've become that attached and used to Picnik. The stupid thing is, that in the stupid little e-mail Picnik sent out it said "it's been awesome" but then why did they say they're leaving if it's been so awesome!!!??? I need them! And then they said they were like "joining up with Google" but weren't very clear on that but it sounds like Google's being mean. Why does Google have to take over everything? Dumb Google! Oh, what is the world coming to?

Ignore the above drama and have a good, uh, life. (without Picnik :[  )

The Golden Building

The pictures below display "the golden building" that I can see from the interstate every time we come home from church. I've always wanted my dad to pull over so I can get a good picture of it all lit up but it's right when we're coming off the on ramp and so I had to satisfy myself with these photos.

I guess they're not all that bad considering they were taken from the window of a moving vehicle. But I do really want to get a "perfect" shot or two of the glorious building. "What is this building?" you ask. Well, I have no idea. I just know it's in downtown Missoula and it's beautiful. Especially at night with its bright lights against the black sky. Once, when we were going by it downtown I had my dad pull over so I could get some pictures. But, none of them turned out good . . . there was a stupid big, fat, ugly tree in the way no matter which way I turned. Sigh. Someday (maybe when I get my drivers license?), I'll just have to pull over and get a million bajillion ah-mazing, BREATHTAKING pictures of it. Mark my words. If ever I actually do get my license, I will. And . . . . . . . that's all I have to say. Good night.

My New Camera! :)

 So this is my old camera . . .

. . . it was a Panasonic Lumix something. It now belongs to my younger sister (pictured above).

Here is my NEW camera . . .

 . . . it is a Nikon (!) Coolpix P500. I named her Nikkita, Nikki for short. :) 

Nikki has all kinds of awesome features, buttons and settings. 

I got her for my 16th birthday (last Friday) from my family.

Nikki and I are getting along quite well. Quite well, indeed. :)
