James is one!

James is one, can you believe it!? He's super cute with the brightest blue eyes!! I only wish I could have spent more time with him (and his parents!).

Bubble Fun

Over my Memorial Day Weekend Staycation, I didn't get a lot of time to play with my real camera, but I did get to take these pictures of Jenny blowing bubbles outside my house. I knew that I could do something with them, but wasn't sure what.

The full sun made Jenny very pale, the background very dark, and the bubbles... well, not very impressive. I used the sharpening brush in Aperture on each of the bubbles, and then used the burn brush to just burn the shadows to make the bubbles pop just a little more. It's ALMOST the effect that I would have gotten using the "eye bright" tool from picnik.com (my favorite tool for glossy surfaces).
