pick your play - no. 35

Long time no blogging... no excuses people just not a whole lot of inspiration this week.

I did pick up the camera once this week because I thought I saw a weird object hovering in the air like a UFO...turns out it was a squirrel on the power line (which I couldn't see because of the glare of the sun). Anyway, it was gone before I could capture it.

Here's Laura's pick-your-play for this week.

This week was a little sad for me. One of my besties at work left to find other (greener) pastures. We only saw each other at the office once a week but we talked or emailed at least once per day.

 K, you will be missed dearly. Promise me that sometime soon your little "cowkids" will make their debut on the blog.

This weekend I am shooting a birthday party with some mini-family-sessions squeezed in. 

Wish me luck!

The monkey kinda freaked me a out a little so he was on the chopping block. Next, I used the action set "Seventies" from PW.

This is fun and always a challenge. Thanks Laura, keep them coming.

Here's the new "pick your play" from Laura at Dolce Pics.

The original...

My edited version...

First some minor adjustments to in Lightroom for contrast, brightness and exposure. I edited the rest of it in Photoshop. I wanted to bring attention to the mystery of the door so I cropped the pic to create a cleaner focal point and I burned the shadows in the doorway to make the bars stand out more and create even more darkness behind it. I also burned the the fence in the background to make the building stand out.

Laura at Dolce Pics does a weekly "pic your play" exercise. Basically, she posts a hi-res photo which she has taken and let's you edit it however you please and then comment on her blog with your version of the photo.
