My first assignment for the newspaper...PICS :)

Today was my first assignment for the newspaper. It turns out, two of my favorite shots were of my boys. They were with a babysitter, enjoying the parade and I shot these as the parade was finishing up.

I just figured I'd post them here. The one of the two of them together I obviously played with in PS for fun. When I find out which the paper uses, I'll probably let ya all know about it..LOL

Both awesome shots!! Did you have fun?

I did have fun. I would have loved to just spend the day capturing candid's, but my main assigment was getting pictures of the village floats. That doesn't give you a ton of room for creativity!

You do have a great eye for capturing the moment and I am very impressed with your work.

good work! really love the second one. if you're lucky, you're going to find that you rarely have time to do much more pp than sizing/cropping/sharpening and slight color corrections--and maybe rotating ;-)

The only thing they want me to do is crop and caption! I already submitted those two pics, unedited, to the paper. I went right from the event to their office! I was taking those pics more for personal use but the editor liked them and had me caption them.

I don't mind not having to edit, although some I can't wait to get my Photoshop hands on..LOL! When I shot for the magazines in Pensacola, I did ALL the post-processing work right down to converting everything to CMYK. I don't miss spending hours working on editing an assignment.

I promise to do some commenting, tomorrow, for everyone who has commented on mine. I really appreciate it :)

edit: for grammar

I forgot to tell you about the SCARIEST part of the day!!!

.....using a Mac to caption the photos at the PDN office! It was the first time I have ever touched a Mac.

Are you ready for the quote of the day from my mouth?

"Where is the right-click button???"

She laughed at me.
