Poor, Poor Photos
Monday, December 28, 2009
For Christmas, my Lover bought me Photoshop, which I have been asking for for a long while now. I also got a new point-and-shoot camera that I wanted (in the Nikon family, but not the DSLR that I was asking for). I love this new camera and the quality of the pictures that it takes. Well, I have really been thinking seriously about photos, editing, etc. One day, I really hope to take good quality photos for family and friends (and get paid for it!). So, I have wanted Photoshop so that I can start to get a feel of it before I purchase a DSLR and start editing those photos.
Anyway, I have a dilemma here: I have found it very necessary to start tossing out some pictures. I need to wean away from collecting all of the photos that I take. I have literally hundreds and hundreds of pictures on my computer (half of which are not edit-able, very poor quality, etc.) that I do not need. This makes me really sad. Remember me talking about throwing away cards from people? This is like 1 billion times worse. I really hate to throw away pictures, but if I really think about it, I only treasure those really good, clear, fun pictures. What use do the blurry photos have? So . . . over the next few days, I am cleaning up files. Eeek! After cleaning up pictures, I am going to go through and edit all of my photos. Whew. That'll be pretty crazy. But it will teach my Photoshop and help me learn different techniques and styles. I guess it's pretty exciting, but sad at the same time.
