Shoot and Edit: Self Portrait Edited

As you may have noticed I started participating in a great little project Shoot and Edit and today is all about the edit.

The above picture is the original photo. I went through all of Ashley’s tutorials and learned some great new things to do with photoshop. Which I’m very excited about because I have had photoshop for a year now and I know I’m not using it to it’s full potential. I even only used 1 action, Florida by Everyday Elements, which as Ashley suggests is an awesome action!

So are you ready for the final outcome?

And this is the side by side…

What do you think?

Project 52: Raw (Unedited)

If I thought last weeks challenge was hard this one was even harder. I am very anxious about putting an unedited photo of me up. My skin isn’t perfect and I’m not the best photographer or subject. I started taking photos and realized they looked just like the rest of the photos in this series I needed to mix it up!

I decided to change up the angle and use my tripod (that I only use once in a while with my video camera). I got some good shots, but I either was showing too much cleavage, you saw the legs of the tripod or my zit, lol. This is the best of the batch, raw (unedited):

The Story of The Comment Cocktail Hour

Once upon a time there was two gals in a chat talking about their new hang out, The SITS Forum. They enjoyed hanging out in the forum but something was missing. They noticed no one from their new hang out was visiting them on their blogs. They wanted to get to know these new friends and have these new friends get to know them better as well.

They remembered a time that they had participated in a fun little chat and how they would love to try something similar with their SITStas. They decided to create a twist on something old.

The idea was to get all the lovely ladies of the SITS community together one night a week to visit each other, get to know one another, to find new friends, and share their own little place on the internet.

That is how the Comment Cocktail Hour was born.

Love, Jenny & Pepper

Project 52: Favorite Feature

I was a little stressed this week over the theme favorite feature – what is my favorite feature. I was actually surprised how hard it was to decide on a feature that I liked. I thought about my toes because I have cute short toes, but then I would need a pedicure to get a picture that I super liked. LOL

Then this morning it came to me my nose! I actually really like my nose. It’s small but not too small and I even have the a perfect little ridge for my nose ring to sit. Okay now I’m done talking about myself here is the picture:

Project 52: Love

The plan for this weeks P52 Self Portrait didn’t go as I hoped. The plan was to take a picture of me and my hubby because I have a photo frame that I want to put a photo of us in (It says love) but I realized we have no photos of us.

We were going to take the photo on Valentine’s Day when we left for our date night, but my MIL was over 40 minutes late so all the light was gone by the time I got to take the photo. I finally got one that didn’t look silly as far as the pose goes and wasn’t horribly blurry from the lack of light. But the photo was way to “warm”, I should have used my white balance like Lynda had just written about. But I was in a hurry and the boys were running circles around us.

I tried editing it and I thought I got it, but when I got it uploaded on flickr I realized it’s a little “cold” now. But I give up! This is this weeks photo, Love …

I know it’s okay, but not very spectacular. Maybe next week I will do better!

Hi I am Pepper, yep that’s my real name, it’s on my birth certificate. I’m an old school blogger going back to her roots. In 1999 I wrote out my feelings and shared my silly random thoughts.

Well I’m back! This is me sharing the real me, hoping that it shows you that hey you aren’t alone in those weird, funny, hard moments in life. I’m putting the pieces of life back together after divorce, emotional abuse and starting out on a new adventure. Want to join me?
