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

Annie has been struggling lately with feeling angry. I’m hoping this will help and we can figure out how to best help her when she is upset.
