Fun with Photos....

-
So I'm playing around with the new camera (my Christmas pressie) and through talking to Renee, the photography student, I'm learning a lot through photographic osmosis LOL!

For example, I took a photo and cropped this part out of it....


I thought it looked pretty good, and then I tweaked it in iPhoto, and this is what I got! (Not that I KNOW what I'm doing, I just play with the adjust sliders LOL!)

This Chickadee posed for me so nicely - he was busy eating a sunflower seed from the feeder!


So Renee sends me an e-mail with some "constructive criticism" LOL! and this is what I got!

You are right - even better! (I think LOL!)


Oh dear, constructive criticism - now she thinks it's too WARM!  How can a poor little shivering Chickadee be too warm LOL!

ok, one last go - what about this one????

It is toooo HOT?  Is it toooo COLD? or is it JUST RIGHT? LOL


You know what?  I like the original the best - go figure!

    Hahaha...wow. If I'd known my "constructive criticism" was going to end up all over the net I might have shut my trap ;)

    I like the second edit better than the first. We'll get two educated students from one tuition, you wait and see!

    It might be a touch too warm now though (ducking).

Bead Whimsey with Sivia Harding That was the name of the class that I took at the Toronto Knitters Frolic.  I have attended many workshops in my time, so it takes a special workshop to catch my attention. Do you know her? I have to admit, I wasn't aware of Sivia's work until it was announced that she was the special guest for the Frolic. When I did some research on line, I was intrigued by her beaded knits and signed up right away! "Bead Whimsey" did not disappoint! Sivia brought so many examples of her beaded knits.
