Time is flying by, and it is already week 3 since I set my goals.
For photography, I edited some pictures using this tutorial in addition to some things I learned in a photography book I finished this week. The book is called Understanding Digital Photography by Bryan Peterson. I wanted to learn some quick editing techniques in Photoshop to enhance any picture I take, and I’m pretty pleased with what I have learned so far. Basically, I have been playing with filters as well as adjusting the levels, colors, and hue/saturation.
Here is a before/after example:
The differences are pretty subtle, but that’s what I was going for – things I can do to adjust/enhance most pics I take. My main issue with this picture is the sky is blown out because of the time of day (the sun was too bright during Kyle’s marathon). I’m still learning.
For my craft project, I took my second sewing class at JoAnn Fabrics.
Here is my luggage tag creation:
Definitely not perfect, but the instructor’s wasn’t either, so I didn’t feel so bad.
On to planning next week’s projects. Have a great weekend, everyone!
