Action Shot!

These are my cation shots, one of them I used prior but the other two were not. They are of Toby and Snickers outside playing. I was hoping to get some today of they horse and buggy ride at breakfast with Santa but it was too cold and I was busy taking pictures for people that forgot cameras! so these are my favorite!

Portraits

So I have finally taken a portrait that I like, I think the hardest part was figuring out what to take the pictures of When I tried using kids they looked fake, because they were trying to hard to smile right, so I chose to use Toby the dog!

I am having problems with the portraits, for some reason I cant seem to take one I like so I am still trying! Ill post one as soon as I find one I like!

Text....

So I chose these two photos because the one of Toby in the christmas stocking is going to be our Christmas card, and thought that would be a neat one to put text in! and the other photo speaks for itself! My husband and I took the dog out and the cat was looking out the door and wanted to come out, Well we live on main Street and our pets Do Not go out without leashes ( just in case you were wondering why there was a leash on the cat).

Filters

I must say this is the coolest thing!! I can not believe how different it makes a picture! the Second Picture is of "A" and our new puppy Toby, on Halloween. I have changed the photo to the graphic pen filter. The First photo is taken the same day just "A" is giving Toby kisses!! I changed this photo with Pallette Knife, I like the blurriness of this photo. This was the first time "A" met Toby, the last time she came to visit she played with Bandit, Who passed away a few weeks ago, and the first thing she asked was where he was, but quickly took to Toby, and said "this doggy is very cute!" after I shed a few tears having to explain that Bandit was in Doggy Heaven. Just wanted to give a little background of this photo!

I enjoyed playing with the lighting and contrast, BUT it was also VERY frustrating, when I could not get it the way I wanted it..... Picture 1 is of is of "E" I also played with the brightness and contrast the Brightness was changed to +82 and the Contrast was changed to +21.... Picture 2"T" and I changed the Brightness to +36 and the Contrast to +56, I like the way the colors are and how his face looks.I like "T's" picture better but "E's" picture is also a favorite of mine.....
