In a world of so many great photographers and writers, I am venturing into some unknown territories, leaving comfort zones, finally very willing to practice the art of seeing. By maintaining the practice of posting daily photos, I hope to continue learning about the possibilities that I trust are out there for the taking.
Book stuff with Patricia, a massage, and fun opening a big box filled with lighting goodies from B&H.
It’s hard for me to stay focused. It’s a good thing Ray doesn’t video me as I go from one thing to the next. I’m surprised I don’t make myself dizzy.
Practicing flash with a snoot. Ray was a willing subject for about 20 minutes!
Brave me, I ventured out in the 110 degree heat at 7pm.
Trying to see and stay focused while seeing.
What a fantastic day I had doing just what I wanted to do. I spent a large portion of the day reading, and practicing what I was reading, in Scott Kelby’s The Adobe Photoshop CS4 book for digital photographers. This is the first time I shot raw photos and worked them in Adobe Camera Raw. Actually, that isn’t true. I just learned that using Adobe Lightroom 2.4 in the Develop mode is a Camera Raw program.
I practiced on the photo below.
hmmmm. Our 3rd photo class assignment is “Curves”. I wonder if this photo qualifies? Ninety percent of the photo should be curves so I doubt it.
