Joanna Part II

A few weeks ago, before Joanna moved to Denver, I took her up to Park City to snap some pictures of her and the aspen trees. It's only been a few weeks but I miss her!! Although, it does give me an excuse to go to Denver....

Hope you like the pics!

Basic Photoshop

Both in high school and in college, I took a few different Photoshop classes.  I recently got Photoshop from my dad and I was so excited to get started again. By no means did I think I was an expert in the matter, but I felt like I knew my way around the program. Apparently, after five years, you don't remember anything! I was completely lost!

Luckily, my dad is a member of NAPP or photoshopuser.com. If you are a member, you get access to amazing tutorials and online classes. Lately, I have been watching some of the tutorials on the site; mostly the basics. Hopefully I will move on to more complex tutorials soon, but these past few days I've had a lot of fun practicing the basics.

Here are a few that I have messed around with. I've included the before and after pictures so you can see the difference that Photoshop makes. Enjoy!

Joanna Part I

I have been waiting forever for my friend, Joanna, to be my model! Finally, today we got together and went out to the salt flats to take a few photos. Unfortunately, during our little photo shoot, I ran out of memory on my SD card and didn't have my spare with me, so we are planning on going back tomorrow to take some more pics. Luckily, my model is so photogenic that I got tons of great pictures already! Here is Joanna Part I:

Oh, also, some of these pictures are more "artsy" than others. I had some fun making them look different.

And of course, I had to get some pics of myself:

More pics are coming soon!
