Photo editing

This is a recent photo taken in my backyard..with MY camera! I already did a photo edit for this one...

but wanted to share the further editing done and how CUTE my g'daughter's smile! She is as sweet as she appears!!

Her mom, is the one who opened my EYE to the fun of photo editing. I've always enjoyed photography. In fact, met my husband...while I was working in a Camera Shop!! I sold cameras from simple/easy..to very complex. How cameras have changed since those days. NO...digital then. Can you imagine!!

Funny how they have a program that can make photos look like they were actually taken in the 70's but today..I'll show you.

It could now be claimed a photo of her mom...close resemblance!

I have found in taking GROUP photos to leave a good space if you can between faces...you just might have a nice SINGLE portrait of a nice smile. I did this once..surprised the woman! She said...WHEN..did YOU GET THAT?
She couldn't believe it! and loved the photo.

Perhaps it came out better in a group not being SELF conscience of how you are truly smiling...becomes more NATURAL in a group setting of HAPPINESS and FUN.

Here is a photo edited sequence

Original:

cropped, rotated and softened..

Voila...added text.

AND..this kitty is my NEW addition to the family. This is my grandchildren's kitty they had to leave behind at Nana's.

Ziggy, is one character...a MAIN COON.

I'll do a photo blog of him soon. He is quite the ham for photos as you can SEE!

ENJOY!!
HOPE
