Touch-Up Tuesday

Before: Dark and not very interesting...

 After: Too light and still not very interesting! I need to practice adding layers!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday: Better Late Than Never

1. Family

It wouldn't be a trip home to Australia if we didn't sit at Pop's Bar drinking his home brew. This particular day, I brought over the port I received for my graduation in 2000.

He was most happy.

2. Motion Blur

This action shot is of my two beautiful sisters looking less-than stunning on Xmas day. Georgia (Left) won a stick-on mo' in her bon-bon's. Not wanting to be left out, Jasmin drew her very own mo' on her finger. Laughter and a bad dancing photo shoot ensued.

 3. Pretty Package

 The centre piece of our Christmas Dinner table.

4. Glow

It's a long shot, but Jasmin is definitely glowing in this picture.

5.Sparkle

I feel like we have done sparkle, so I am throwing in a curve ball...
I feel like I "sparkle" when I am by the ocean...Cheesy, but will have to do!

Mutton Dressed Up As Lamb

Last Christmas, we had a little family photo shoot. My aim was to finally get a photo of my pop smiling...a harder task than you think! I told some dirty jokes while snapping away. It helped that he'd had a few home brew beers prior to the shoot. After wards, we began mucking around with Photoshop and we decided to try to take 30 years off of them. Not that they need it; they are in their 70's and are looking pretty sharp for a couple of old ducks, but nevertheless, it was quite amusing to play around with the clone stamp; it is one of the easiest tools to use and produces instant results - who needs a dentist or Oil of Olay when you have Photoshop!

The SOOC shot: Not too bad at all and he is smiling!

Post Production: Wrinkles smoothed, teeth lightened!

It's going to be good to see them in 3 weeks!
