Black and White Wednesday

I missed Black and White Wednesday at Lisa's last week but wanted to add something this week. My poor camera hasn't been seeing much action since Christmas. Unfortunately, that is pretty much the way things go EVERY year around here. Anyway, was only playing around yesterday and I snapped one or two of Lindy as she was looking kind of festive for Valentine's Day.

It sure could use A LOT more editing but I don't know how to do what I need to do and I'm pretty sure I don't have the tools to do it. I wanted to add a pop of color so I tried keeping the color in her bow using one of the editing options in Picasa (see, I told you I'm a complete novice).

Happy Black and White Wednesday and Valentine's Day~
Lisa

Maybe you're not the novice you think you are...the lighting is great, she's positioned in the photo perfectly...great job! And the bow makes it over the top! What a cutie pie!

Glad you got to play along this week!!

Your Lindy is just SO adorable! What a great picture. It really is hard to get out and take pictures in the winter isn't it? So hard! I love the lighting and composition of this! SO nice!

Gail said...

This one is beautiful of your girl!!! Love how you pulled the color out of her bow.

And thank you for the very sweet comment on my blog. :)

Way to go, Lisa! This photo is beautiful~

I think you did a great job! I can't imagine what more editing you'd need to do! She's so sweet and you know what? I paid a disgusting amount of money to my wedding photographer because I was so taken with her colorized images in the portfolio she showed me. I think this is a wonderful shot!

Oh! That pink bow is the perfect finishing touch!

I love this photo, especially the pop of color. I'm a total novice, too, so Picassa is as good as it gets at my house.

Lisa said...

Oh, I love it just the way it IS!!

I'm so like you though...just wondering where to start most of the time with editing! But what fun to learn through this fabulous Wed.!!

Beautiful shot of a beautiful girl!

Such a cutie! This is a beautiful photo! You did such a great job! I love the bow. I have not figured out how to do this yet.

Shelly and Family said...

Hi Lisa & I LOVE the B&W! I think I seen you around before LOL funny isn't the adoption blogger community! I am so looking forward to following along with you & your family's journey...

Hope you are having a great week!

Breanna said...

I'm a novice on photo editing, too... but I think you sure do a great job! And your camera takes nice clear photos, too. What kind do you have? Is it user-friendly. I'm hoping to get a different camera before we go to China, but I'm gathing info to see what others like before I decide which route to go. Looking at DSLR's that will grow with me! :)

BTW, I think you did a good job of adding the color to her bow. She's such a cute little princess!

Blessings,
