I’ve been very frustrated the past few days due to feeling like poo and the deluge of rain over Houston. I didn’t feel like working on the redecoration of the living room. And I was feeling more than a bit housebound after all the rain over the past week and a half. But when it got down to it, part of the problem was a decided lack of creativity.
I haven’t been shooting pictures. And while redecorating the house is productive, it’s a bit of a drag as well since I’m actually doing a sort and pitch as I go – if I don’t love it or use it, it’s outta the house. So tonight I helped a friend and saved my sanity in the process – I played in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3
I bought Lightroom 3
that it was time to make the leap and really learn the software – especially since one of my personal goals is to start telling people’s stories through words and pictures.
I had a blast just playing with the different effects the software produces. I can see why people sometimes want to overprocess using these two pieces of software – it was FUN!
I wish I could post the results of playing with my friend’s picture in Lightroom. However, while she gave me permission to play with the picture she took of her son, she didn’t give me permission to post the end results. So I’ll end this post with a few pictures of a little blue pig who likes to drink vodka, watch movies, and occassionally takes naps on my co-worker’s desk.
