Different

“I may have said the same thing before...but my explanation, I am sure, will always be different.”
Oscar Wilde.




This week the theme in is different.

I am trying to do different things with my photographs, I have only had a digital camera for less than a year and still mainly use 'Auto' settings. I have lucked out on having mega cute nephews and cool places to hike.
I start to think I take a nice photograph but then I see the photographs that Thomas takes and I am green with envy. So with that in mind I have started to frame my photo's better and i am now trying to figure out contrasts and things like that. It is not bloody easy and its also rather addictive!

Update:
I suppose it would help if i said what I actually did to the photo of my nephew Connor and what it looked like before! so click the read more bit to see unmessed with image.


To be honest I cant really explain what I did to it, I just imported it to adobe lightroom, turned it to grayscale, messed with the brightness, contrasts and some other slidey things, then Voila! Thats how technical I am :)

  14. As much as I appreciate the nice job you did turning the picture black and white, and the high-tech instructions you left me so that I could do the same for one of my own pictures I have taken with my new digital camera (that is always on auto-setting)... all I can really think is:

    AWWWWWWW!!!!

    He is so damn cute in both of them! :)
