Almost 8 Weeks Later....

Seriously??  I haven't posted on my photo blog for almost 8 weeks?

I am getting to be quite the negligent blogger, aren't I?!!

I love this photo of Fluff and Ringo (above), taken a few years ago.  So I pulled it out of my archives and spiffed it up a bit in Photoshop Elements 9, which I ordered a few months ago.

Of course, as you may know, Photoshop Elements 10 just came out, and that happened to me a week after I received my Elements 9 version.  Not sure why I missed that announcement... oh well.  I'm enjoying working with the 9 version for the time being!

I have always liked this old barn photo (below), which I snapped shortly after my move to Kansas, and on one of my first photo excursions with my then-new Nike DSLR.  I've brightened it up in Photoshop Elements 9 here...


And then I converted it to B and W (below), adjusting the contrast to get a slightly wild and stormy look....


And then there's this forever-favorite of mine (below), taken during the same above photo excursion...


I have a ton of favorite photos, but I admit these are in my top 25, er, maybe top 50?!

Looking forward to a weekend of temps in the 60s.... here's hoping you have a great weekend and good weather to go along with it!
