Our "Samedi" is very photogenic, so I ran for my camera last night when I saw her gazing out of the upstairs bedroom window scoping an evening bird or two. I knew the shots were good but the lighting was questionable. I put them on the computer this morning and was majorly bummed! They were very dark, so I thought my HP Photo Program might be able to lighten them up. I tried everything in their repertoire and nothing helped improve the contrast until I stumbled on this treatment. Voila...not only was my lighting problem solved, but I had this soft, almost furry, black and white photo of our Sam that was more beautiful than anything I could have captured from our upstairs bedroom window at dusk! So, today is Christmas in July. I love these photos for their beauty and ability to capture someone I love. But even more, as I fear I may soon have to face difficult times and difficult decisions; I realize that what looks like a problem today can be a present tomorrow! I'm counting on the presents!
These are fun photos...I especially like the one with her tilted head. I'm thinking good thoughts for presents to take the place of problems.
