New Inspirations

  I have always been the type who gets 'lost' in facebook or a photogs blog that inspires me for the week.  Sometimes I find myself 'lost' for hours on end.  All of a sudden I'll look at my clock and an hour has flown by and I'm still nose deep in great images and phenomenal techniques.  Today I decided to cook up some techniques of my own and I cannot wait to put them to use.  I found an awesome site filled with sweet brushes that I can start to utilize in photoshop.  I cannot wait to do a stylized shoot and fill up images with these goodies!  I'm still playing around with them and getting to know how I can use the endless menus that photoshop provides. 

  I took a photoshop class last fall where I commented to a fellow classmate that with photoshop, there are a million ways to do the same thing.  Shortcuts, menus, buttons, etc etc.  The possibilities with this program are endless.  Taking a class was just the beginning of my learning curve.  Most of what I have done with photoshop has been all self taught.  To the point of saying.... crap how do I do _______ and then youtubing or googling it, spending 15-20 mins on a tutorial and VOILA instant learning curve bump.  LOL.  I knew that my skills with this program were severely limited and that is why I decided to do the class.  Even learning the basics and some detailed stuff about aspects that I'd never knew existed was a huge upgrade for me.  I cannot wait to utilize the things I learned and make my photography even more astounding this photog season!!!

  Here's just a few images that I had fun with this afternoon.  Photoshop Art.
