My nieces and nephew were subjects in a photo series idea I had. The girls dressed up for their shots and I had them stand on cardboard as their "stage" for the photo. I took several pictures of each of them and then used Photoshop AI to create enchanted scenes for them. I had never... Continue Reading →
The Project Board is 10 Years Old!
I published my first post on The Project Board ten years ago today on October 2, 2012. I was a go-getter that first month and published 18 posts! I had a lot to talk about due to two reasons: 1. we had just moved in to our house and I had a lot of ideas... Continue Reading →
Beach Photography
I recently went on a vacation to the beach and I wanted to share some of the pictures I took. We had lots of great weather and sunsets. My camera is a Canon Rebel T3i and I used a 18-135mm f/3.5 lens for these pictures.
Creating a Dramatic Dog Portrait
My mom's dog Cooper is staying with us this weekend. He has interesting eyes; each eye is half brown and half blue. I've seen dogs with different colored eyes before, but usually one whole eye is blue and the other eye is brown, not half-and-half like Cooper's. I have taken pictures of Cooper before but...

Flags and Bees
Today is Memorial Day in the United States. To honor those who have lost their lives during Military duty, hundreds of flags were placed in a local park. I visited this morning with my camera and got shots of both the flags and of bumblebees that were enjoying the flowers. I hope you had a... Continue Reading →
Sky Replacement in Photoshop
The newest version of Photoshop has a "sky replacement" feature that is quick and easy to use. I like it because it allows me to upload my own sky pictures (my preference) or use ones that have been shared by other people. The version of Photoshop I have is 22.2.0. To get started, open the...

My 2020 Photography
Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, I was unable to travel during 2020 so my photography collection last year is lacking compared to previous years. Additionally, I spent the year house-training and socializing a puppy which, coupled with a full-time job, didn't leave a lot of time for going out and about with my camera. But... Continue Reading →
Trying Lightroom Presets
I decided today that I needed to start pushing myself more when it comes to my photography. When I edit photos, I usually only apply light edits and don't take a lot of risks or push myself out of my comfort zone. I decided it was time to finally download and learn Adobe Lightroom. I...

Creating a Fairy Tale Scene in Photoshop
Yesterday my sister and I took her kids on a walking path near the river. The youngest was drawn to a field of white dandelions. I took out my phone and took the below picture. I didn't have time for positioning because she was quickly off to the next thing so the lighting and angle... Continue Reading →
2019 Photography
I have a folder on my computer named "2019 Photography" where I've placed hundreds of pictures I've taken this year. Not all are Flickr or Instagram worthy but I'm happy with quite a few of them. It doesn't make sense to post them one-by-one on this blog so I am going to share my favorites... Continue Reading →
