Bubbles

Filed Under: Photography


First of all I wanted to say Thank You to everyone that entered my giveaway. I used random.org to pick the winners. The winner of the hat is #20 Reading Allowed . The winner of my 11×14 leaf print is #2 Lisa’s Chaos. I will be emailing y’all, but if you see this first you can email me. [email protected]. Thanks again. I can’t wait to do more giveaways.


Onto the bubbles, this is from last summer while Dustyn and I were outside playing. He loved them. I took this photo for Faiths SLR class, Freeze motion. I really loved the way it turned out.

Before:

After:

First I applied a soft light layer, then sharpened the actual bubble using Pioneer Woman’s Sharpen This action. Then applied Coffee Shop’s Vintage Honey action and adjusted it to my liking. Then re-sized and sharpened for the web.

Photography love...living in a perry tale

    I love this picture. My son loves playing with bubbles and I would love to have something like this while he is playing. I will have to look closer at my camera to see if it is something I could do too : )!

    First, I am super duper slow and just realized you are the same Sarah from Loving my Life blog. LOL!! So glad you posted that in announcements. I love your photography Sarah! I am a huge fan of vintage photos. Photos saturated with color are fun and happy, but I love vintage with less color and more focus on the subject. I want to learn more about photography, especially since I have the BEST inspiration :) Have a great Tuesday/Wed!

    I got the 35mm 1.8! I think that's what you have and said you loved? I had a long debate over that or the 50mm!
