Really I have no idea how to spell that word. It is “two” and “for” shoved together. Hopefully you’ll read it and understand. Basically, this week’s Tip of the Week is a double whammy. Tye wrote us up two tips for the price of one! They are both awesome tips and I’m super excited to put my kids to bed and play around with Photoshop tonight (only 8 more hours to go; I don’t think putting them to bed at noon would really fly that well…). I want to try out both of these processes very much.
I realized the other day that I really need to learn Photoshop much better. I am just limping along using my actions and a few things I know (that I have learned from Tye’s Tip of the Week tutorials) but I have a long way to go. I see so many photographers and I often think that their post processing skills are what makes them great. There is usually a little more to it than that, but I think if I had better post processing skills my photos would look a bit more professional. So I need to practice that. Just like I am practicing my photography skills, I need to focus on post processing as well.
So I will. Practice that is. Tonight after I put the kids in bed, I will try to get some practice in on these two Tips. I’m excited!!!
So… you read the post where I got a new camera? I still am limping along. I have really been struggling to find time to read the manual. I took it with me to the gym yesterday and read it while I was on the stationary bike, but this morning I decided to sleep in instead. Tomorrow!
I guess I have the Auto mode fully figured out. And the preset modes aren’t that hard to understand either. I am just having a hard time figuring out how to use the manual modes. I mean, I can’t figure out how to adjust the aperture. Strange. It’s a pretty automated camera and that’s cool. It’s kind of a cross between automated and manual. I just haven’t figured out how to use the manual yet. I will.
More practice. And reading. And then practice.
I thought my learning curve would be a little less steep. I thought I’d pick it up and be as comfortable with it as I was on my old Nikon D100. I know I will in a week or two but it’s just taking more time than I thought it would. Plus, I have felt really busy and haven’t actually been able to set time aside for playing with it. I grab it when I’m cooking dinner or when I am waiting for something. I haven’t really given it my full attention.
Ok, I should sign off. Mag just unrolled a full roll of paper towels and is playing in it. He’s wrapping paper towels around himself like a cute little mummy baby. Insert imaginary picture here -> <-
On last thing… Don’t forget to think about what you would like to learn to be able to scrapbook your photos. We got some great ideas yesterday but would love some more. Let us know what is on your mind.
