Take 2

I found the masking brush!  That was a huge find, allowing me to mask on and off and adjust the amount of the paint I was putting on.  I knew the feature was available but trying to learn to navigate the program is taking a little time.   It's little things that excite me now days.

Learning Curve

There is a learning curve to using Topaz but I am determined, practicing on a photo from a few years ago. Two different units of the collection trying to see how they differ and how they are similar. I am trying to learn when and how to blend the two styles together. This will take some long nights and lots of You Tube videos to figure out!!!

Columbine

  Cody had planted some new flowers in their flower bed for Easter but had no idea what they were. I love all the detail and lavender was our color of the month,  I found out at forum that it is a Columbine. 

Easter Blessings!

What a wonderful Easter we had, we are so very blessed.  Cody and Chantell had everyone over for a cookout, Paiton was able to come home for her first 24 hour pass and we got some family photos!!! 

Raindrops on Tulips

So glad that Spring flowers are arriving, I especially love all the tulips that are starting to unfold and show off their beautiful colors.  I helped this one along with a spritz of glycerin and water mixer for that dew kissed look.

 

Lights, Camera, Action?

I bought a set of LED lights that are power and temperature adjustable and have been trying them out.  I like the fact they are continuous and I can see how the light is impacting my image but now I need to get a couple soft boxes instead of the umbrella to contain the spillage.
