A Lazy Evening

Jason and I are just enjoying a quiet evening at home watching "The Proposal" while I play around with some photos. So.. I guess I don't have a whole lot to say this evening. Hope you all enjoy the photos!

Miami Beach

It has been crazy busy lately! Miami Beach was so much fun (once I finally got there!!) The water was beautiful and so warm, and the relaxing on the beach was very much needed. I was able to wake myself up for one morning sunrise... it was just ok as far as sunrises go.. there was not a single cloud in the sky, no waves, and the horizon was so hazy that you really couldn't see the moment the sun rose.. but I still think I got a few good photos :)

The Miami weekend went by a little to fast.. I got home late Tuesday night (no flight issues, thank goodness!). We got up early Wednesday to go to Hershey Park.. that was a great day with Tiff and Dustin. Thursday night I was one of those crazy ones that went and saw the midnight show of Harry Potter... (I was dead on my feet at work the next day!) Friday and Saturday evenings were filled with family and cookouts!

So I am now finally getting around to playing with some of the photos I took in Miami. The opening image is just a starfish and I ran it through SnapArt2 watercolor. The image below is a wide shot of the beach that I edited using the Totally Rad photoshop actions. Enjoy!

Friday!!

We had some crazy weather this morning with all the rain showers passing through. I got to see a rainbow briefly, unfortunately I was on the highway in pouring down rain so I couldn't take a photo of it. So I thought I would share a couple more sunrise beach pictures. The opening image is a straight from the camera shot with some levels adjustments in Camera Raw. The image below I used a couple photoshop actions from Totally Rad! I am really liking that program there is so much fun stuff to do with your photos. Well, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

Oc Sunrise

I got to celebrate my birthday with Jason and and a few great friends at Ocean City for a weekend. It was a really great trip (despite Adam's sprained ankle!) We had some great beach weather and I got to go out and watch the sunrise on Sunday morning. You couldn't actually see the sun rise over the horizon because of the clouds, but it made for some neat skies. I played around a little with the processing, I am really liking using textures like in the first image here, and using the Totally Rad Photoshop Actions (right now I just have the limited free actions, I plan on purchasing the whole program soon) The images below were processed with SnapArt2 that I now have. Thanks to Mom and Dad for my birthday present :) Anyway, enjoy!
