Tuesday Challenges

Filed Under: Family

As you all know I got a new camera. It is the new Nikon D7000. I am still learning about all the features it has to offer. I know the basics because they are pretty much the same as my Nikon D3000. As I said in my post yesterday MOST of the photos do not need any editing in my book. I really love a simple clean edit. Well here is a picture that needed some editing.
{Touch-Up Tuesday}
SOOC
DSC_0452before
{f/2.2, ISO 320, Shutter Speed 1/13}
This is how Dustyn plays with his cars. Zoom, Zoom… {Shutter Love}
After
DSC_0452after
I lightened the photo. Then used Pioneer Woman’s Boost action. Then resized and sharpened for the web. So it didn’t need too much editing.
I really love the fact that he is so into cars & trucks. It is so sweet watching him play.
Photography love...ShutterLoveTuesdays
