Edited using Paint.Net and Gimp. Taken using a Nikon Coolpix... which will hopefully change one day, ha!

Enjoy! More to come. =)

Vacation Pictures

Hey, sorry I've been gone so long! Phew, it's been so busy! I'm on vacation right now, and I'm having a blast!  Here are some of the hundreds of pictures I've taken so far!

#41-70

There were dates on the palm trees, and they were so pretty! (Sadly, they weren't ripe.)

A picturesque pond and waterfall. =)

The mountains are gorgeous!

 There are these adorable little hut/cushion things, and they're SO comfy and cute!

 Someone had champagne set out, so I just turned around and snapped a picture.  Added some noise and adjusted the color to make it seem old-fashioned... Turned out better than I thought it would!

 There are planes really close to where we're at, and they're so cool!

Well, that's all for now!  I'm going back out to the pool... Hope you liked the pictures, and see you later!! (Thank you so much for all the kind comments on my previous post, by the way!)

Myself in Photography

Well, hello, everyone, and welcome to Still Memories of 2010, where I am displaying pictures that I take in this year of two thousand ten, counting how many I take.  Hannah inspired me, actually, at her blog, 2010 in 2010.  I really enjoy taking pictures, so please don't steal my work, or use anything you see on this blog without my permission.  Thank you so much, and enjoy the pictures!! =)

PS: This blog is really ugly right now, I know!!  Bear with me; it's going through major renovations.  It's brand new, and I can't wait to redesign it!

Today was a rainy day, so I donned a coat, sweatpants, and boots, grabbed an umbrella, and headed outside to see what hidden photos I could find curled up in the rainforest-like, weedy corners of our yard. Some of them turned out to be pretty good!  Please tell me what you think, and have fun looking!

 

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

 I really liked the contrast of the green clovers to the dark mulch on the one above.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

One of my favorites. ^^

  

I really like how this one turned out, too.

  

And this one. ^^

  

  

The weeds were totally submerged in water, haha.

 

Hopscotch. =)

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

Me. Haha.

  

For some reason, I just liked this one.  I think the streaks of water dripping down the grill cover look really cool, in some weird way.  =P

  

  

  

  

Haha, just fooling around with different photo-editing techniques on the four pics above.  Tell me which style of coloring/shading you like best.  (I kinda like the last one for some reason. Doesn't really look real, but looks color-rich in a cool movie-esque sort of way.)

Well, that's all for now!  Hope you liked my rainy-day exploits! =P
