Sometimes…
Posted October 21st, 2009 by Lisa
I think I spend more time playing with the photos than I do composing the blog post. Sometimes the pictures are ok straight out of the camera, but they almost always benefit from a little tweaking.
I recently discovered a way to obtain a warm, dreamy effect.
And I have been in love with this stuck-in-a-drawer-for-the-last-30-years vintagey look recently.
I haven’t decided which I prefer, but it almost doesn’t matter – often the fun is really in the playing. What have you been playing with lately?

I just found out that I could make my own “Persona” for Firefox, so I tried doing that today and came up with this: http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/61670
Just like with photos, the most fun part isn’t really looking at my browser in a different color scheme — it’s the playing.

Hey, that’s really neat! And in about four hours, when I’ve wasted all morning tinkering with personas, I am going to regret ever reading your comment, LOL!
Ha! I know, right? Hopefully the fun wears of quickly or at least you eat breakfast while tinkering. =)

I have recently realized I enjoy the process of editing just as much as I enjoy taking the actual photos!

I like! Messing around with stuff is fun. I’ve been playing with photos too, lately.
So what’s your picture process?

Offhand, I just like to play around with some of the different settings in Paint Shop Pro. For the vintage look, I make a duplicate “soft light” layer, and sandwich a partially-transparent dark blue layer in between them.
Cool, thanks! I’m going to see if I can do that with GIMP – I love the way it looks

I’m sure you have been asked this before but what camera set-up do you use? Im going to splurge this weekend and am fishing for opinions…..have any?? Thanks – Pam
I have a higher-end point-and-shoot: a Canon S3 IS that I bought used on eBay last year. I’m not sure they make that particular S3 model anymore, but there are more recent models, and they get excellent reviews.
