Sneak Peek: David+Candy

Here's what I'm working on. Had a great time at the beach!

Let’s Hear It For The Boys | I Heart Faces Photo Challenge

This picture is very special to me because it has two of my most favorite boys in it. My son is not real fond of hats but when he saw that his daddy had one similar he opted to wear his for.just.a.second. Love them to pieces.

Head over to I Heart Faces and take a look at some of the other entries for the contest.

Edit Comparisons

I thought that this would help some of those that are always asking and emailing me how do I edit my pictures.

I use a very basic editing technique and I do them all with no batching or actions(as I haven't figured out how to do my own actions for editing; I do however have an action made up for my resizing, sharpening and watermark). I do like several actions that are out from several of my photog friends. I am still trying to discover my "style" but I am more drawn to the clean and simple look. Every now and then I want something more dramatic with more color, etc but my basic, go-to edits are pictured below.

So below I have made some comparisons showing my Clean and Simple edits.

• The first picture is straight out of my Canon 60D shot in RAW with no adjustments in DPP or Lightroom, just converted to jpeg and sent over to PS to edit.
• The second picture is my Clean and Simple edit. Basically, I do a soft light layer(reduced opacity according to picture), burn and sponge at a very low opacity. Also, I bump up Curves if it needs it. That's it!
• The third picture is my Clean and Simple edit done the same way as the first but with a little more contrast, burning, dodging and sponging.
