My Latest Obsession

Ever since I stopped nannying in November, I have been thinking of what I want to do with my life. After deciding that I wanted to get more involved with photography, I started looking up different websites of many photographers. I then started going through my own pictures and seeing if I could improve them. Well, what started as a little interest has become a slight obsession. I just got so excited seeing my pictures go from "ok" to "great". Some of them are little changes that I feel made big differences. So here's a little sample of some of the pictures I've been editing. I'll show the before and after of each. Hopefully I can learn how to take a good picture straight from the camera and not need all of this editing!

Those are really neat! I echo an earlier statement - what applications did you use?

I used 2 different programs to edit these. Most of it was done with Paint Shop Pro 8. Some of the more simple editing was done with Google's Picasa. It's free, so anyone can download it. Let me know if you have any more questions!
