My kid loves to pick flowers. If I didn't watch him carefully, there'd be nary a posey left on our block. But much to his delight, next to our neighborhood pool is a gigantic field of wildflowers. I let him go crazy and pick till his heart's content. Because that allowed me to go crazy and shoot till my heart's content!
I love the back of my kid's head. I don't necessarily have to have his face and smile in every shot. That's why I picked this photo out of the 97 I took!
2. A little B/W action. I played with the black/grey/white levels to give it that good newspapery effect. I prefer newspaper b/w finish over the traditional. Guess it's in my blood, given that my dad's a newspaper man.
3. Played around with color levels to give is a vivid yet natural look. I like it, but boy is my kid's skin white! Guess sunscreen works!
4. Vintage look. Love it! Looks like all of my childhood photos from the 1970's. I've got to figure out how to paint certain colors, because I think this would be lovely with the black-eyed Susan's more yellow.
5. This is called the Orton effect. Makes the colors vivid and then gives a soft, slightly out of focus glow. Very nice.
So hard to decide which is my favorite! I like them all!!!
