Heather Greenwood Photography

Well, I've decided to revive this old blog and start posting some of my favorite pictures again. Hoping I can keep up with this... and will probably try Project 365 again this coming year depending on how things go with the birth of our third child. There may be a few days that I won't be getting pics but I'm not going to be strict with myself about actually posting a new pic every day like I have in the past...

Anyways... I had some fun yesterday prepping for a tutorial I was writing and here's a picture of our Christmas tree... This was soooo much fun, that I'm hoping to play with this a little bit more and do some hearts and maybe try to get a pic of the kids with the fun bokeh background.

I'm going to try to bring this blog back to life again. I am going to attempt to turn this into a 365 photo blog. This will become all about photography and the scrapbooking posts will be posted on my main blog. Be sure to check it out because from time to time I'll be offering a freebie template for you to download. My goal for this blog will be to take a picture a day in 2010. I'll also continue the i <3 faces "fix it friday" post processing... I may even do some of my own and for even more fun, I may have you do them along with me since post processing is my most favorite part of photography. I really want to grow this year though in my photography skills and am hoping by taking my camera out every day I'll grow in my creative thinking and just general photo taking skills. Be on the look out for some challenges from me too. I'd love to be inspired by my readers.

This was just a quick edit... I just brightened it up in LR2 using the direct positive preset and then went into PSE6 to crop it and frame it and add a drop shadow.

Gosh, I just love the picture for this week, such a sweet baby and really didn't need much fixing and such amazing catchlights in the eyes. I just fixed the exposure a tad bit to brighten it up and then added a summer haze preset in LR2. I then opened it up in PSE6 and added a couple textures and some bokeh overlays.. I had bought a few textures and overlays on Black Friday and it was so fun to play with them on this picture.
