Hey Catherine that Clown picture is a good one. Maybe POTM.

 

[Picasso]

Just one for tonight:

My Shroom:

Happy Friday!

 

[EliWhitney314]

oh that's a keeper

 

[Picasso]

Just one again tonight. Been horsing around with Lightroom.

This is a shot of some of the new macro algae I got yesterday. That orange is true color. Wondering if that's the color it changes when it dies or will it stay that way? Hope it stays 'cause I really like it!

 

[winyfrog]

thats a great looking mushroom.

 

[ltljoker]

Your pics are so awsome i am envious of your extreme skillz:bowdown:

 

[Picasso]

Got a few today:

First, This is some of my new Macro Algae: Sargassum. Played with my macro lens:

Next more macro Algae: Red Grape:

Here's some Padina and some Chaeto: What's that snail doing in the background?

This is a test of a new photographic technique I'm trying to learn. It's a failure shot but I think we should celebrate our failures.

Last, a shell my daughter brought back from her band trip to Florida:

I know it's redundant to keep writing the same stuff. I don't know if you guys want me to keep posting. Can you do a "thumbs up" or +1 or something if you like it? (or thumbs down if you don't)

Thanks,
Catherine

Thumbs up! I look at all your pictures, and enjoy them.

Haven't seen them in a couple of days, because of work. Still looking great. How much do you alter them with Lightroom?

 

[bobby]

Great shots Catherine! Love the different macros. Are they in your horse tank?

 

[Picasso]

How much do you alter them with Lightroom?

Before the "shroom" shot I was just trying to get myself back into the habit of shooting and posting each day. The past few days I've been re-educating myself and trying to learn some new technologies in processing so most of those have a good bit of work done to them. I use Lightroom for most of my processing and Photoshop for clean-up if it needs some extra work.

Will your class teach the techniques of using Photoshop and Lightroom? I don't have Lightroom and bought Photoshop and never could figure it out whatsoever. :(

 

[Picasso]

Photoshop is intense if you don't have the work-flow down. If you are a photographer and you can pick only one of those two programs definitely go with Lightroom. What version of Photoshop do you have? I was going to cover Photobucket editing techniques since that's what most people have on this forum but I can help you with Photoshop. We can meet in a chatroom and I can walk you through a good basic photo-editing technique in about 45 mins. After that, I can point you toward some free online tutorials that will walk you through intermediate and advanced techniques. Just opening a shot in Photoshop is difficult if you don't know the steps.

How's the camera search coming along?

Ok, one more today:

Love this little shot of Jazz:

 

[RyanG]

Lovely as always, Catherine! ^^^^^^^^This is one of the best, almost perfect compostition if you follow the 'rule'

 

[dcantucson]

Okay something doesn't look real with that one. The fish looks 'placed' onto the picture.

Work got into the way. No further progress. :(

He's really there. He's hosting in those 'shrooms since I moved him to the 55 gallon. Now that I look at it, he kind of does look photoshopped in but I didn't do it. It was originally shot landscape the blue on the bottom is really the back of the tank. Hmmmmm....
