Whilst checking out the Central MN Camera Club they encourage the attendees to be on a photo challenge each month. Last month was “obsolete” and this month was the color orange. So, here are some pictures that I am thinking will work well for the meeting. It certainly was my advantage that my motorcycle is orange, little Piper’s hair is orange, a beautiful sunset with hints of orange, roses (pretty eh?), and of course a road sign!
So you think these will do?
For new views to photograph. This is a view just past St. Stephens on the way to Rice, MN. It doesn’t show the view well, but if you look off in the distance, it is as though you can see into a valley forever and ever and ever. It is a cool place. If you go to the end there is a sharp corner to the left and then it is another straight stretch…
Close ups are always fun!
My hubby Minsan and his friend Mitch have spent time in the studio working on songs over time (www.minsansauers.com). This one is extra special because it is about Mitch’s grandson Blaine. he is the cutest and brightest little boy and hopefully you will enjoy seeing some pictures of him too!
If you will notice some of the pictures in the slideshow were some that I had taken last month. I am so glad that I got to see him in person with his guitar.
I have been doing some editing to my pictures before I put them out here. One thing that I have come to realize is that it is totally subjective. I love things as vibrant as I can…not everyone feels that way…. Just to show how much I like, I thought I would show you a before and after shot.
Before editing:
After editing:
What do you think about the changes? Remember that there are a million things that can be edited to be to your liking…this is just my way…
How about black and white…do you prefer it that way?
Wait, maybe you like the vintage look:
No matter…it is all good fun though…to me that is ;)!
