Never Fear!


Finally it is cool enough to light my candles. Early early AM, I decided to play with my settings on the Rebel and the first few were very very dark. 

NEVER FEAR my Kindle is Near.

Page from book open in Kindle app


I found a Photoshop elements instruction book for 2.99, kindle edition. I quick downloaded it and the page was so small  I could not follow the instructions. 

Never Fear! A blogger friend is near:

Ann at Snap Edit Scrap   said download the Kindle app to my PC and I did and now I can view the instructions on my 26 inch monitor


 Above is out of camera, much  to dark, the next two are fiddled with by following the instructions
                                       (the last 3 photos are the same photo)

  2. It sure does make a difference. Your header is nice. Tell me is your desk always so neat and tidy?
    If you want to make the lights turn into stars you set your cameras with a high Av number (small aperture) naturally the speed will slow down to let enough light in so you need to use a tripod.
    Try It!
    Enjoy the doggie show.

  3. terrific shots! love all of them. it's really hard to pick a favourite. i have to say that first one has a magic feel to it. i am always in so deep awe of your ability to use techno like that.

  14. PS--If I have a hard time deciding which book to read, I will look at them on my PC Kindle--it shows the covers and sometimes the cover does appeal to me...

  17. I love my PhotoShop Elements. It can certainly help when it comes to a photo which is too dark, or one which is too light.... Love it!!!

    Great pictures --and I meant to tell you yesterday that I like your header.
    Hugs,
    Betsy
