Editing Software

Hey all! I don't know if it's OK to post this here (if not, I can move it), but I just thought I'd share this (another) blog post I found on good free photo editing software. Obviously Photoshop is the "king" hence it's cost, but here is the list of good (free) Photoshop alternatives in case you're interested:

Lines. Margot.

So, I finally got a new camera and haven't been able to use it too much. These were taken with my point and shoot and aren't new pictures--I'm a total cheat.

I can't remember in which direction this was shot originally. So you can decide which you like better.





This one was originally tall but I thought I'd see what happened when I cropped it to the sun. I like it both ways but for different reasons. I'd also like to know how to take pictures with the sun that don't have large colored glares (the pink top right of the sun). Anyone know how?

So, I tried taking pictures of lines without people, but I just wasn't happy with how it turned out. I really like it when people are in my photos too....

Here are a few of my recent photos of people with lines involved:

This was a teeter totter:


Pretty bridge:


Awesome fence:


This is such a busy time of the year, but oh so fun! Maybe I'll try to get more creative and expand to non people photos...I'm just not as good at the artsy, abstract stuff...and I don't enjoy it quite as much.
