I am not sure how explain it, but I still feel like I am 18 most of the time.
My body tells me otherwise almost every day, but my mind can go to that time of carefree adventure in an instant.
I feel that as my body changes and gets older, my mind has kind of hit a slow motion button.
I can see myself aging, but my mind isn’t keeping up….
I will admit, I loved the feeling of being young, and
I hope to always feel like I am 18 even when I am 80!
Here is Caitlin, a super cute senior, who is graduating this year.
Who also happens to be 18.
She has the most beautiful blue eyes!
Congrats, Caitlin!
Lots of love,
Niki
I am not sure what the photography world thinks about when I mention, HDR. This terms in essence means you are bringing out as much detail in the photograph as possible or High Detail Rendering. This is something that a lot of the mid range to upper DSLR cameras will do for you…(look in your owners manual for exact location and use). Your camera, when in this mode, will take 3 to 6 images using different exposure settings. It will do a variation of overexposed and underexposed. When you put all of these images together you end up with an HDR version of your shot. Now, I will say this, as awesome as it is to use your camera for this process (and it will always look a little better if you do use your camera) I will say that the latest version of Photoshop makes the HDR process a snap and they look amazing!
If you have the lastest in photoshop you simply need to pick an image you want to use, go to “image”, then to “adjustments”, scroll down until you see “HDR” and click it.
Go ahead and play around with the settings until you get something you like!
Here are a few examples of what I did using HDR on my Photoshop:
