Ice Skating

I posted a few in my last post from our ice skating adventure last weekend with my little sisters and I am still sorting through them and editing my favorites but here are a few more.

Behind the Times!!!

Holy Crap! I swear I get busy and 6 days go by before I can get a grip. We get hit with a snow storm late last week that pretty much knocked out our internet so I wasn't able to update. Then we went to Arkansas with the Inlaws and I forgot my camera, so again no updating!

Arkansas was good, we didnt do a whole lot which isnt always a bad thing. I was really surprised at how beautiful the scenery is there. Is it bad that I was expecting shacks and hillbillies? We did see our share of hillbillies at the anniversary party, but no shacks.

On a very possitive note I finally got the correct version of photoshop elements so I have been playing around with that a bit. Not as much as I would like but with school starting this week I think I will have to take it easy with the pictures.

So since I owe myself six pictures that I didnt take, I am going to post a few that I played around with in PSE. In the future I will try to put up a before and after but for six pictures that would take me forever.

My First Setup!!!!

I went out last night and bough up some fleece to try out my first setup! I hope to in the future (when I actually have money) to by a backdrop stand, but for now we just tossed the fleece over the back of two chairs and laid down some plexi-glass. This was also my first "shoot" in manual settings. I worked mostly in Aperture Priority, which worked out well. Ellie wasn't wanting to work with us, but I think that we got a few good pictures of the two of them.

These are unedited :( I received my PSE 8 today but guess what, it isn't compatible with my older Mac. So I am sending it back and giving in to an older but still very capable version. Should be here by the end of the week. Editing here I come!

Here are a few from today...
