I believe in you and me

What do I NOT love about this?? The beautiful song, Denzel Washington, the movie, whitney, did I mention Denzel? This was the best video I found on YouTube - sans the ad which plays before the music starts.

I've got Toni B. on my mind

via Il Divo.

Hold me in...

This may be Toni braxton's most sensual song of all time. Spanish guitar...

Aperture

Well, I learned something new today - aperture opening!

Here are my pedestrian notes:
The Aperture is inversely proportional to the f-stop and also inversely proportional to the depth of field

ie, A wide aperture opening lets more light in to the shot, it means a low f-stop number, and a shallow depth of field(background blurry). (so, I guess this is good for macro shots eh?)

A small aperture opening means less light in the shot, a higher f-stop number, and a large depth of field (everything in focus).

and here are the pics I took as practice to better understand the concept

This pic was taken with f-5.6 (see the blurry carpet??)



This pic was taken with f-36

Photoshop actions

I've been playing around in photoshop again thanks to some FREE actions I found on this awesome website.

Here is a pic I took last summer


Here is the same pic after running the 'Boost' and 'Warmer' actions on it. Not too shabby eh?

Dear God

Made me smile

Here's how I feel today...
