Domestic Photographic

For the first edit, I cropped in closer. Then I adjusted the white balance in Adobe Camera Raw, then warmed up the temperature because she was looking kind of blue. I adjusted the levels to brighten and make the colours pop, and then I ran the Boost action at a low opacity to add a little more oomph, turning off the crispiness and zing layers. I ran an unsharp mask and then ran noiseware.

The Result:

Vintage:

Black and White:

Bathtime! Excuse the skin tones, I'm having consistency issues.

I love his eyes in these ones. Taken outside.

Original:

Edit:

I straightened this picture out, and then cropped. I lightened the whites of his eyes a little and used MCP's touch of light action to lessen some of the shadows on the right side of his face. Then I converted to black and white using a gradient map, did a duplicate layer and selected hard light to make it pop some more, and then ran noiseware.

Smile!

Calin took this one of us in the tub, and I did the edits. I just cropped and fixed the white balance on the first one, and then for the second one I used Coffeeshop's Creamy Chocolate Black and White action, but I deleted the creamy layer. I ran noiseware on both of them because they were pretty grainy.

We got Moses a Lovey to sleep with at night. Here he holding it. The room is actually completely dark in this picture, but I took it using the lightcoop.

He's getting so good at walking. Here's him running around on the balcony, in a shirt that happens to match the mats on the ground. I wish I hadn't chopped off his arms, but what can ya do?

Moses loves books and brings them to us to read to him.

We went to the park with our play group. Moses enjoyed running towards the stroller, using it as a walker, and then crawling back to me and leaving it behind :)

There were 150.
