final

Here is my finall project. My last picture is not very good. I went to take a picture with my camera and it started acting up. I had to use what I had because now it is in getting repaired.

So I had a really hard time choosing a topic. I have thought long and hard about this. I wanted to do my daughters hair growth (weird I know, if you saw her hair, you would understand) and how we donated it to Locks of Love at about 4 yrs old. I wanted to do my kids first trip to Cape Cod (first ocean experience for my youngest). I wanted to do our disney trip or Disney animals. I also wanted to do the story of my house being built. My husband thought this was the best chose so I listened to him for once :) This was a long difficult build which will be interesting to tell. Everything that could go wrong went wrong. These are pictures before I fixed them. A lot of these I would like to fi by cropping or other things. I also need to go out and take an updated photo of my house now that it has been a few years and I have grass out front of my house. Now I am just hoping later today I dont change my mind and do another subject.

A couple things that I learned about taking portrait, is the earlier in the day the better. I did  the outside portraits in the late afternoon and the lighting was really hard. I had some pictures of my daughter that I took in the back yard and the lighting was so dark. I went to the front yard and I had to moe myself around and see where the better lighting is. I wish I went out earlier in the day. Also I learned that white sheets for a background are really hard to use. I used a white sheet and at first with the yellow shirt my youngest was wearing washed her right out. I had her change to a darker shirt realy quick and it worked better. Also a key thing to remember, make sure your camera is not on low battery :) I had a really hard time also because my battery was dying so I had to charge it and then start over. So these 3 photos are of my 2 girls. I think they are ok but I am hard on my self and could easily tell you 5 things why I hate these starting with my daughter needs a haircut so we cant really see her face :)

I did another photo of Text. I really like this tool so I played with this tool more. I can really use this tool on a lot of photos for when I scrapebook. I put my daughters name and a little title on the bottom.

The first picture is the clone picture.I decided to add another statue to the picture. I havent used this before so I need to work on it more. I needed to straighten it more. The 2nd is the original picture.

Ok So I am for the very first time having trouble uploading a picture. I tried uploading it a different way. I hope it works. I just added text to the frog picture to say what and where the picture was taking.

I have to say this is my favorite tool so far. I can take a lot of pictures and do this type of stuff and love the pictures even more.
