Straight out of the camera, or not...

Yesterday I took pictures of a little boy at a vineyard outside of town. His mom, Brooke, asked me to do the pictures after seeing my ad in the MOPS newsletter. She has taken his pictures in the past, but found that he would either not look at her at all or swat at the camera.  When I took his pictures, it completely changed the dynamics of a photography session. His mom was free to entertain him and get him to laugh and I could snap away on my super fast camera. I had a lot of fun and his mom got a lot of great pictures that she didn't have to cry and plead her little boy for. It is a win win.


I love Photoshop. I really do. It isn't that I don't think I take good pictures straight out of the camera, it is just I can always make them better with a little tweaking to the color. I can also take out unsightly things that distract from the composition of the picture. 






The fall colors and ripe fruit at the vineyard were so lovely. The view from the hills outside Monmouth is breathtaking. In the picture above, the colors are rather flat and doesn't do the real view justice. Is anyone else distracted by the power lines running in back? I was really distracted, so I took them out. I also popped the color by doing a whole bunch of things you don't care about with layers and screens.






Ah, much better. I am curious: Do you do anything with your pictures before you print/post them? What do you use, if anything. Or what program do you want to get to improve your pictures?
