Nothing But Blue Skies

The relief of cooler temps has finally arrived! A gorgeous blue sky and fluffy clouds ain't too bad either. I took this while going down the road today looking through a windshield...just beautiful!

Our beautiful Dalmation of 14 years

Today's pic is dedicated to our dalmation, Oreo. Ms. Oreo, had been having more physical difficulties in the last year. She had arthritis, was going deaf, couldn't see very well...and just in pain many days. Oreo was the most loving, loyal companion. She loved her family greatly as we did her and we will miss her dearly. She brought much joy to us in the 13-1/2 years we had her. ♥

Photoshop Editing Technique

Jimmy on Phototips.biz had this really cool and easy editing tip for Photoshop this week and here is what I did with it on a recent photo shoot.

My original edited pic:


In Photoshop, duplicate your layer (background). Go to "filter", gaussian blur with 30 pixels. Then under "layers" click "overlay" or "screen". I chose "overlay" which is the result below. Cool, isn't it? You can adjust the opacity a bit if you need to also. Quick and easy!!

After PS technique:
This technique gives a dreamy quality to the photo.

Recent Engagement Shoot:







Mexico, Missouri, is sucking the life out of me/us and has for some time now...I need a different scenery! Just not feeling ANY creative juices. Just want to shake the dust and blow this popsicle stand!
