I Heart Faces: Fix it Friday #58
Folks, I am days behind in editing photos. Because of this, there will be no Friday Finds this week. I’m sorry! You can browse through previous weeks and check out my currently surfing page if you want to find some great links!
This week I purchased Patti Brown’s Kaleidoscope Light Set and MCP Action’s Quickie Collection and All in the Details. For serious, I would buy just about everything the two of them have to offer if I could. Now that I’ve downloaded a bazillion actions and textures, it takes me 12 times as long to edit a photo because I’m trying to learn how to use them. The learning curve is also why a lot of my photos are coming out over-processed lately. It takes experience to be able to predict how a photo is going to respond to an action and be able to subtly tweak it.
Despite the fact that I may never finish editing photos from Wednesday, I got all giddy when I remembered (thanks to Newbie Photo Lover) that it is Fix it Friday!
The picture this week is an absolutely gorgeous self-portrait taken by Susan Keller of Short on Words. It has a natural sun flare in the upper right hand corner which I think is awesome. So many photographers view sun flares as horrible mistakes they should have corrected when setting up the shot, but I completely disagree. Immediately I was excited to be able to play off the light in this photo with some of the Kaleidoscope Light Set overlays!
