Those of you who know me know that I love to take pictures. Over the past few years photography has become not only a hobby, but somewhat of a passion of mine. I haven't had near as many opportunities to practice this new passion and to grow as I would have liked, but having a baby of my own has opened up a whole new door for me! I take pictures of Caden all the time! I'm still using just my "plain Jane" kit lens on my wonderful Canon EOS 30D! I'm in the market for a new lens if ANYONE out there has any recommendations! (Is there anyone out there reading my blogs??).
On top of learning my new camera I've also become a photoshop junkie! I don't like to alter pictures too much. Instead I like using photoshop to clean up all of my many (many) imperfections! I smooth out the backgrounds sometimes and tweak the lighting if it needs it.
Everything I do in photography and photoshop is pretty much self-taught (or I learn it from my Sister-in-Law and photographer, Misty Rae). Well, lately I've been determined to learn how to work with layers and make a collage! I was so excited with how this turned out. It reminds me of the Lion King!
