Yeah, what will you do if you have no skill whatsoever in photography? You take snap shot especially with your cybershot or in other word, much cheaper camera than the DSLR, you end up taking not the real thing as you saw with your own eyes. You will curse, “Hey, this is not what I want!!”

It happens to me quite a lot. Sometimes it frustrated me to the extreme of just taking out my credit card and buy the damn DSLR. Oh so I thought. Luckily, I came into conclusion earlier that if you are just not that skill, no matter what camera you use, it will still end up bad. So, I am glad too that I do not force myself of just buy the expensive camera. I know my capability. I slack a lot in that department. Hahaha. I still wish I know some tricks with the Photoshop software though. It can help to “cover” my slack of camera manual setting skill. Hahaha.

So after many visits to my favourite friend’s blog at Eshark Design especially after looking all those nice pictures, the one with HDR some more, I decided to learn or in other words, try to clicks all those many options in the Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended to modify to some of my awful pictures of my family. I don’t know whether it turn out to be all right or not, but I see there’s a future in my attempt. All I need is more time to thinker with all this settings.

Here after “disturbing” some setting. I know, need a few more tweak there

Here all my three kids, Josh, Preston and Presley trying the bicycle with mommy trying to stay calm.

Okay here another try to tweak the shadow, highlight, brightness, contrast etc. Yep, I have no idea what I clicked already. LOL!!

So, so far that’s my only experience with all this photo editing. I know I need a lot of time with the Photoshop setting minus real capable camera. Any help will of course be appreciated here to anyone out there. Thanks in advance. To that, as a bonus for reading up to here, I would like to giveaway an Orovo detox link to you all.

HAPPY WEEKEND!!!

** just realized after looking at the picture through my wife’s LCD monitor … everyone’s has darker “hitam manis” skin now!!! Tanned!!!

I think I have talked about my problem handling with camera all because I am not good in presenting good pictures, images, or anything as such. I am as black as my office shoes opposed to being green hand on gardening. I hope you understand that sentence. Ha-ha.

Now, to say that I did not try to improve myself is really a bad assumption. I tried learning the Photoshop but failed repeatedly. Yes, I even have gone to buying the hard cover book on learning the Photoshop with unbelievable price tag. So far, time is the problem. I know it is easy for you but I am a very slow learner when comes to all this. Especially when there is no passion.
