12/26/11 through 12/30/11
Well, there isn't much (this wasn't the most photographically exciting week), but here's what I have.
I'm a quality freak, so the first two are screenshots, which gives a better veiw as to what I was doing on the computer than does a picture of the screen. lol. Descriptions are below.
On Monday I wrote
three movie reviews (Sherlock 2, Happy Feet 2, Tron) for my
DecentMovies blog. Considering it takes me a week to usually write one this is an accomplishment for me. I also started a fourth (Prince of Persia) on Thursday, but didn't finish.
On Tuesday I went to work, and not much else, but I did play World of Tanks on the computer. I didn't do to bad, either, hehe.

On Wednesday I went to work again. I was going to have some pictures from it, but I forgot the camera (I'll add pictures in the next post) - and on Thursday I made supper, but the morning consisted of editing Wednesday's pictures as well as some cow-roping pics, so I will post all 5 in a row for Wed. and Thurs.
These first ones I thought pretty cool and were taken of the gas-range fire early in the morning while it was still dark out. I call them the "Light Side and Dark Side Ranges". Haha.
Light Side
Dark Side.
To make them red I just used the color-changer option in PSP X4. Obviously they are heavily edited.
These two are much better in my opinion, the noise-removal actually worked on them - for some reason it didn't work on the last set. I love the reflections down at the bottom left!
I'm having trouble editing these cow-roping pics. The sky is so bright in a lot of them that I can't edit it all out. They look cool still though. :-) You'll see these sometime soon on my photography page when I'm done with them.

Friday. Friday we were going to go to the beach - but didn't. So I edited the above fire photo in an even better quality way below, and took a picture of some grass (then edited it like crazy). I also edited a picture of a small girl I know (I had just found this plug-in for PSP X4U that a bunch of cool options).
The contrast is much better, and the green is a nice change from all the red and blue, lol.
^This program has an awesome Old Photo option! It looks like an 1850's photo! Though you could get me on the fact that the red cross wasn't formed until 1863...lol. I tried this on other photos, but none of them even came close to how cool this one is.
This is close to how it started. ^
and
this is an edit in the middle of two better edits....however, you'll just have to wait till I post them all on my
Photography Blog this next week or so before you can see them all. ;-D
I love the semi-greyscale of the 2nd photo. It gives this subtle movie-style feel to it and I am playing with a better version of it, with blacker black and clearer leaves - so it'll look cool!
Anyway, that was basically my week, and I'd love to know what you think about my first Photo Summary! Should I have posted more photos per day/photo shoot? Should I have described my days more? Should I do this again some time?
