web-worm

Over the last several days...I have become a web-worm. I have been soking up as much knowledge as I can. Unfortunatly, My camera died this weekend. I took it to a camera place in town, and it is either going to cost $175 or $20.0
Sure your thinking the $20 sounds like a great deal....never judge a book by its cover. She said something happen to the connectors, either those that connect the battery to the mother board, or the connects to the mother board itself. If its the mother board...its only $200, because it is not econimical to fix it....no camera....if its $175, then it can be fixed.

I decided tonight to just bring her on home and figure out what I want to do. I have been wanting a new camera...in fact have been pressing my husband about the issue. But I did not want one under these circumstances....

So now I am left to choose...Do I hold on to it for a little while longer, or do I go ahead and get the new one.....
I want a Canon 5D Mark II...its only a few pennies...not!!
Back to work...studying web worming!!

Watermarks

I have found this really cool website called MCP...http://www.mcpactions.com/



I learned today how to make a watermark in Photoshop. May seem like elementary to some of you, but for me it was like algebra 1.
I knew how to add text to my photos, but I did not know how to save and make a watermark so now its only a click of a button!!


Anyways, this website has a lot of use full information on it, some free ( a lot free ) and some with a reasonable price!



Here is my new picture of Audrey...same picture as last post...but notice in the bottom right, my new watermark.

What you can learn on the internet......

There is a picture taken Monster that has been unleashed inside of me...and I just can't shut it off!!

I really, really, really enjoy this stuff...

Between last night and tonight, I have found some new tricks...the internet really is an amazing tool! The world at your fingertips....

So here is what I have accomplished today...

Pictures

Every since Faith was born, I have enjoyed being behind a camera. I owned my first digital camera when she was born, a Kodak! If she blinked, I had a picture. Our computer crashed...and long heart breaking story later, I only have about 10-25 pictures of Faith under the age of 1. I was the mom, that did not miss a beat. When I lost all those, a piece of my heart left...really it did!! Jesus restored it, but I was sure heart broken for a long, long, looooooong time!!
After Lauren was born, I battled with taking pictures of her. I did not want Faith to look back one day, and think I loved one more than the other. But I did not want Lauren to have to miss out, just because Faith will.
Needless to say, I bought a rebel xt, and really enjoy it. I have had a copy of photoshop 7.0 and recently got photoshop C3. While I have owned these for sometime, it wasn't till recently that I am seeing just what can be done in PS.
There is this new found desire to want to know more, do more...
I have found some really neat websites, and am going to do all I can to read up and educate myself!

This blog is a journey...one that I hope I can ride for a long time!!
I hope it has ups and downs...and all the fun in between!

I think there is a little part of me that would like to do this on the side and see where it goes...first and foremost...I want to learn all I can....which means long nights and hours sitting in front of a Computer!!
But hey, its all good right?


Here is some of my work or shall I say a newbies work in progress.....
I just love this picture...upside down baby is Johnna, my neice...and then my oldest daughter Faith in the middle, next to my youngest, Audrey...I think the reason I like this so much is because this is so typically of all them! They all love Faith and she loves them...and they are all silly willy girls!!
