Glowing Edges


Glowing Edges, originally uploaded by ElementaryTechTeacher.

For the third day in a row I ventured outside and tried to capture a macro shot of a snowflake. The last two days either the snow has stopped once I got outside or it was unattractive pellets. Today there were a couple of decent flakes but I had to be quick before the wind blew them out of my view finder. My husband says the shots are getting better. Still not as focused as I'd like. So he had me open them in Photo Shop and he began to give me some lessons. (He teaches Photo Shop) As he showed me how to adjust the color balance I said that was cool. He said no this is cool and proceeded to show me some special effects. The glowing edges was my favorite and it made the photo look better than it really was.

  1. Lovely! The special filters in PhotoShop is my favorite...mostly because it is easy and effective - I need your husband's class though to really learn the software!

  4. Ken, I've seen my husband get caught in that time vacuum!
    My daughter is taking a Photoshop class in high school this year. She should have no problem getting an A with helpful hints from her dad!
