Converging Lines
The next DPS assignment is "Converging Lines" and is due by next Tues. I have not officially submitted anything for it yet, but I needed a photo for today so I thought I'd try to come up with a possible submission. This shot (taken at the Sonoran Desert Museum) has a lot of converging lines: the stairs, the hand rails, and also the shadows on the right side of the wall. But as much as I like this photo, I'm not thrilled enough with it to submit for the assignment. So, onto more photo taking!
So, what exactly is meant by converging lines? Lines that run parallel into the distance or that actually converge at some point.
Post Processing: converted color image to b&w, added sharpness, and also a vignette.

Mama Bird
This photo was taken outside of our house this afternoon. Mama bird is protecting her newly hatched baby. She built her nest on top of one of our outdoor lights. I tried to get a picture of the baby, but was unsuccessful.
So, what new technique did I use here? Not really a technique, but it was taken in the RAW format. My first uploaded Camera RAW photo! I can totally see a difference in quality. It's a lot more sharp than JPEG and you have more flexibility in adjusting the various elements. It's great and I'll be trying to take more photos in this format.

Uncut Grass
Because we have been busy almost every weekend this month, my DH has not had the time to mow the lawn. Thought I'd take a few photos of our 3 week-old uncut grass. LOL :)

Just Boys....
so [are] children of the youth."
(Psalm 127:4)
This photo was taken in our backyard earlier this week with two of our son's friends. I used a sepia photo filter layer and also the distort/lenscorrection filter.
Although I think this photo turned out great with the effects, I'm particularly not liking the shadow of the roof overhang interrupting the flow of the wall upwards. Oh well, that's okay! I loved the candid photo.

The Love of a Mother
I learned a new technique today - "cross processing"! It is the procedure of deliberately processing photographic film in a chemical solution intended for a different type of film (Wikipedia). In digital photography, this is done through photo editing software such as Photoshop.
