What's Up Blue Eyes?

It just amazes me how blue my daughter's eyes look using this technique that she showed me. (Keep in mind that she is only 12!) If you haven't tried it, go to http://www.picnik.com, upload a photo, click on the Create tab, use the Black and White effect and then erase the effect from a select portion of your photo. The color really pops when the rest of the photo is black and white!

Now she tells me I'm over using this... but I just think it looks so cool! Thanks E!

1 More Photo's Mascot


I thought 1 More Photo could use a mascot, so here she is: Nikki! You'll be seeing more of Nikki as time goes on, even if she isn't the best subject to shoot. She occasionally poses for me, like this, but she is more often a blur of black. Nikki was sitting on one of her "lookout" chairs in our bedroom when this photo was taken, using only natural light coming through the window at midday. I cropped, converted to B&W, and added the Vignette edging using Picnik.com.

Welcome

Welcome to 1 More Photo!
This is my new blog dedicated to my renewed interest in photography and my journey of exploration using my new Nikon D90 camera. I'm not sure that the world really needs another photography blog, but what the heck. It doesn't cost anything! I'll be sharing some of the photos I take here, and maybe listing some useful links on photography. There are already many great resources on the web, so I'm definately not going to try to reinvent the wheel there. Since I am also a scrapbooker, I might also throw in an opinion or two about the use of photos in scrapbooking, but everything I post here will definately deal with photos in one way or another. I don't know if you will ever find anything here that makes you want to return... but I hope so!
