I chose to accept his assignment: Pretend you have only a film camera, take only 27 or 36 shots, turn off the picture review or put tape over it, and don’t look at the pictures for at least 24 hours. Extra credit was given if you did no post processing in Lightroom or Photoshop. Well, no extra credit here. I did take with me a 256 mb card only and set my Nikon 70 to RAW + Jpeg so that kept me from going over the picture limit. I figured out how to turn off the continuous mode, and turned the picture review off. Oh yeah, another rule was to keep the ISO the same for all the shots like with film. I used ISO 400. I’m sorry to say I didn’t get any great shots, but I got some shots that captured the day we spent at Lake Cumberland, and sometimes, that’s enough.

I have been playing around with Photoshop CS5 (I was fortunate enough to be picked as a Beta Tester) and I have to admit I am hooked like never before. I had wanted to do this collage several months before and never could make it work the way I wanted it to. This image took about 30-45 minutes. Yep, I’m loving CS5. It’s totally worth the upgrade!

The bad news is, I’m not done. The good news is, I have gone through all of them and I did get a few edited. Here’s the link: C L I C K H E R E

But I thought this one was really good. Hope you agree…

Here is the before photo, and with it transformed to a coloring book page, and another version with a little bit of color is added back for another special effect.

I know it’s only 1 – but I am still going through all of them and there are a lot of good ones. I hope to have more done soon.
Update: Corrected the white balance. I know it’s Kentucky but I definitely had her “too blue”! Oops.
