Photo challenge information

Here is the page with my inspiration and attempts to Shoot the Moon. I offer the challenge to anyone..with a point & shoot camera. I have digital cameras..but they only zoom in so far. Not like DD#1's camera with her special lens ... Hope it gives ya some ideas for future photo shoots ..and if you want other challenges head over to Scrapadilly and join in the fun.

Photo fun fix

Do you ever get photos like this one?? Aww, come on now--tell Ol'Granny the truth now...

This happens to me quite frequently..I never think much or plan my Shots.. I just snap away with my digi camera!! I'm from the film generation and It is so liberating to have all the photos I want without the waste or cost of developing them. And I get to "fix" or "delete" the ones I really mess up.

Ok Lets jump right into fixing the "dark" photo.. I used PSE6 to first crop, lighten, and adjust the hue. I still wasn't happy with the results; Couldn't see that handsome fellows face.. So on a whim I turned it to B&W... Walla- It's a KEEPER!!

MIX & MATCH-photographs

I got into that box of photos thats been taking up room on my table and did work out some problem photos that were important to me. I am NOT a great photographer- I'm a snap now and fix later since digital cameras and programs have entered my life. My DD#2 likes to "help" and will often print stuff right out of the camera before I see them- she did and I finally solved how to use some of those "Oh Hum" photos that should have been deleted.


This is an important person at the Graduation of My G/daughter. He wouldn't let me get too close with the camera, so I just shot & snapped away with little thought of what I was getting. But it turned out ok..since I combined 2 into 1 really good subject. And with little journaling It is ready for the scrapbook album.

I am NOT good at seeing what surrounds my subject nor pay attention to my light source when I have camera in hand. I'm too emotional to be behind the camera, so I have to get creative with my photos. My grand daughter graduated High School and her other Grandmother held a wonderful party. I couldn't get the other GMa out of the kitchen where that window was streaming sunlight behind her, so I snap away and hoped I could rework it digitally...which I did, but paper scrapping with the prints right out of my camera made me solve and use each & every important print..

Ya just gotta get "CREATIVE"-- don't pitch it, til I've seen it. GRANNY
