Playing with actions

selinaphillipsphotography

 

So forever, I’ve been doing everything in Photoshop the long way.  I finally decided to try out some actions.  So I downloaded some from Pioneer Woman and Coffeshop and thought I’d show some of my favorites.  I started with this pic, which is pretty much straight out of the camera, except I cloned out some of the jelly sandwich that was around her mouth and a little scratch (from the cat) on her cheek.  LOL  anyway, here’s where I started…

And here is the photo after running Coffe Shop’s action Soft Autumn glow.  Kinda cool, but I like the others to come better.

Now here’s the picture after running Coffe Shop’s Splendor black and white….

And here it is with the same action from Coffe Shop…Splendor black and white except I tweaked some of the layers and came up with this, which I think is my favorite of the ones here.

And finally here is an action from Pioneer Woman called Seventies…….I kind of like this too…..although you can get this same effect if you lay your pictures out in the sun and let them fade for about 35 years……….

Anyway, just having some fun with actions, thought I’d let everyone in on it♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I Heartfaces weekly challenge “angles”

I love this picture of this couple with their newborn.  I had them on the floor while I walked around them and shot them from many different angles.  I love this angle because it’s not your typical one for a family shot.

Another picture of one of my daughters.

My daughter does pose for me, but with all the grumbling that goes along with it, the fleeting moments when she’s NOT making it difficult are hard to capture!  Five minutes and she’s DONE so I have to move quickly.

My son who does not like to pose for me!

My poor children are plagued with a mother who wants to photograph them all the time.  Today was no exception, since it was the first day of the year that I we didn’t have to wear coats!  It will surely get cold again, and possibly even snow, so I thought I better take advantage of it while I could.  My son was not amused.

And this is another son who does like to pose, but in his own special way!!!

 

 

A daughter who does like to pose, and likes to play with the cat, but doesnt like to have her hair brushed or wear any sort of accessories in it!

 Yet another son who will pose, but grumbles about it the whole time, and suggests how I should be doing it!

So those of you who know me, know that my daughter’s tooth was knocked out YEARS ago…..she finally lost the other one because it was time.   This is so cute to me, she finally has a matching empty spot in front!
