title pic Best Shot Monday: Shy and postprocessed

Posted by Alli on January 14, 2008

Carefree and shy We had a really warm day earlier last week, so we had to take advantage of it by going to the neighborhood playground. Of course I took my camera!

When I took this picture of Fuller he slid down the slide with such a shyness that isn’t really like him. He looked happy and just enjoying playing by himself so much, but not really wanting attention.

Carefree and shyIt really isn’t my best shot, but I loved the composition and look of Fuller. So I experimented with post processing in picnik and gave it this holgaish look and then the cinemascope gave it the crop. Now it isn’t my best shot, but really my favorite shot.

I’m not sure where folks stand on post processing of digital photography. I know Ree does it on her beautiful shots on Pioneer Woman, but rarely do folks fess up that they photoshopped their picture. I used photoshop too, but am still getting my feet wet there.

Where do you stand on SOOC (straight out of the camera) versus post processed digital photography?

If you want to play along with Best Shot Monday, post it on your blog and leave a comment on Tracey’s blog.
