Altering Digital Images - Photoshop Edited Artwork

I must say I was pretty surprised when this turned up in my inbox

My wife was playing around with her artwork and came across some of my portraits and couldn't resist adding the yellow and "pointy" bits on the top of my portrait of Marlene Dietrich.  I will have to learn fast how to edit hers :)

Editing, I have discovered can eat up hours of my time and still I haven't produced the photographic masterpiece I have in my mind but sometimes it surprises me and I end up with a stack of new and different ideas from just the 
one starting image.

Digital Photography Simplified

I couldn't bring myself to get a copy of Digital Photography for Dummies.Well, not until I could salt it away and take a peek by myself anyway - it'd be like admitting I didn't know what I was doing ! I mean I know I don't (quite) but I don't really want to advertise the fact :)

Digital Photography Simplified  shows you in simple language and with clear diagrams and images just how to go about things and seems easier to understand than my camera manual.  Maybe it is the color photographs, or maybe it is the clear text explanations but if you want to make a start on mastering digital photography and making all your shots fantastic be sure to give it a whirl and find out how easy it is for anyone, from a complete novice to someone who has some experience to take even better photos.
Back to my waiting camera !
   

Rockface On the Rocks

I was wrapped to find this rock "face"  - can you see it too ?
I could hardly wait to see if it would come like the image I had in my head and when I loaded it into my computer it did ! I ended up taking quite a few shots of various rocks that I would have previously just driven past.

I love this camera !
I use a Sony Cybershot and I love the way I can just "rock" on up to my subject and start clicking and if its too far away, no problem, I just hit the zoom and I am right in front of what I want to shoot. I am also really impressed with the anti-shake on this camera and find I don't need to cart around my tripod at all ! Totally cool camera.

'On the Rocks' another shot I took at the same place - I could have spent all day there !
With a digital camera its pretty amazing what you can find to photograph from what you see everyday in your daily travels around the planet - this was just a stack of ordinary rocks dumped in a heap that I didn't even notice before I started looking through the lens.

Collage of Garden Shots

I am amazed every time I take a shot at how simple things are now and taking photos is just pure simple enjoyment instead of fluffing around with light meters and F stops.

Now I can take out the camera, press the shutter and bingo one shot taken with no worries about whether I have the right settings .

What is even more cool is that I can edit my photos in a myriad of ways at the click of the mouse, the collage above, for example, was taken from just around the garden.
I love it !
Keep looking and I'll keep posting.
