Fall colors… before and after
Fall leaves create a beautiful, warm tone to images. What if the colors are not yet what you desire? Thanks to Photoshop, this is no longer a problem.

Warmed up the image, slight desaturation and added lens flare…

C’mon… open your eyes!
Mom sent me this childhood photo: Cute, but his eyes are closed.
Another cute pic with his eyes open: Hmmm, missing the chubby little hands on the swing rope.
Photoshop to the rescue. Took his right eye and put it on the closed eye photo. Copied that eye, flipped it, put it on his left eye and adjusted to look natural. Toned down some of the skin glare, adjusted color balance and here we go. A cute little guy with his eyes ready to see what the world has to offer.
Eighteen years later and here he is again… Open eyes, ready to see what the world has to offer…
Go, take on the world!

GoPro, HDR and the Easter shark… why not?
A frugal nature has come to fruition with the annual appearance of “The Easter Shark.” No bunny costume? No problem. Just dig out an old Halloween costume purchased for $1 on clearance at least 15 years ago and you are set. Apparently, we don’t believe in sheltering our grandchildren from the scary elements of the world, either. Things usually are not as scary as they seem… lesson learned.
Perfect time to try out a Hero 2 GoPro camera purchased used on Ebay. My first idea was to attach it to our one-year-old grandson’s head as he crawls towards his prize eggs, but we did not come up with a good method of attachment. Duct tape was one suggestion, but I don’t think removal would be pleasant. Plan B involved the hubby holding it on the stick attachment and using various angles.
Always plenty of “selfies” with the GoPro as you access the menu and settings with the lens facing you. Oops!
With no playback or viewfinder, you never know what you have until you download the images.
I had a little too much fun with the HDR process on Photoshop CC 2014. It’s always fun to play and experiment.
Took the GoPro inside to see what it would do. Some were blurred and this one is a little soft. I think I’ll reserve this little toy exclusively for outdoor images.
Upon viewing these results my husbands assessment of the experience with the GoPro Hero 2 was… “Well, it takes pictures.” Yep, it does.
Goal for 2015 includes duct taping this GoPro Hero 2 camera to a turtle participating in the Gary, SD July 3rd turtle races.
Hmmm… who’s going to let me use their turtle?
Stay tuned…
