Before and After

Before and after is when: I take a photo that I have, edit it then show you the results. To see more before and afters visit Monica's blog- here.

Here is the before picture of Bradley, looking past me. I don't remember what he was looking at. I think he has a cute expression on his face.
Update: I don't remember what he was looking at because I didn't take this photo! I just looked at the camera information on this picture and it was taken with the 18-35mm kit lens, and I think he was in Auto mode. My husband was using that lens the other day and trying to see what he could do with it. I always use the 50mm f/1.8 for pics of Brad. :-)
Anyway, here is the camera info for this picture: Shutter speed 1/50, f/4.5, ISO: 1000

Here is the after-
My friend Lindsay was over and suggested I try black and white. I thought that was a good idea since two weeks ago for the first "Before and After" I did bright colors and last week I did a funky edit.

I cropped the photo. That helped with the distractions in the background. I clicked on B&W High Contrast in LR Beta 3 and played around with exposure until I liked what I saw. Then I sharpened it a little. I didn't notice a difference when I did that though.
That was about it; pretty simple.
I really want to try textures and I am going to look into that for Gimp this week. I have been seeing some really cool photos the past couple weeks on Monica's blog hop. This has been fun!
