Funny Girl
There are several reasons why I love this shot. Anya has come to that stage in toddlerhood where she things she is the most hilarious human that ever graced the Earth. She cracks jokes where only she, and perhaps her brother, truly understands the hilarity.
The other reason I love this photo is because I was able to save it from where it started:
The above is an example of what happens when you don’t check your camera settings before you start shooting. Ye be warned! The settings were: f1.8, 1/100 shutterspeed, ISO 1600 and the white balance was set for cloudy (I think) instead of tungsten lighting. I had to do some color correction in Photoshop in order to transform it into a saveable picture. I have tried their auto correct features and that just doesn’t work all that well. It is best to figure it out on your own, since you truly know the color your child is supposed to be (i.e. not orange). 😀
Great great job, Stacey! If you just look at the top photo you’d never know how it started out. Adorable.
My little one is the same way. She’ll tell what is supposed to be a joke then she’ll say, “Get it? Get it?”
Great save! I need to learn how to do more in Photoshop!!!
that expression is priceless! glad you were able to fix it.
What a great fix! I am not good at fixing my photos. I’ve read all of the tips and what not, and I just can’t seem to make them look as good as everyone else’s… I’m a novice, hopefully I will come into my own, eventually!
she is very precious! 🙂
You did a great job of fixing it. It’s a really great photo!
I can see why you went out of your way to save that one – it’s priceless! It’s s great save, too, as I’d have never guessed where it started.
Yes, I would have gone to the ends of the earth to rescue that shot. I actually giggled out loud when I saw her laughter…you know, you can almost hear her. Precious.
Amazing rescue.
Thank you ladies, for the nice comments! Photoshop is definitely my friend when it comes to saving these gems. 🙂
What?!?! Anya IS NOT the most hilarious person on the planet?? I was so confused!!
I love that picture. Toddler humor is one I understand.
What a great shot — and even more amazing after seeing how you fixed it!
I’m a freak–I think both images are beautiful. See, I have this odd thing about yellowy images. Of course, maybe it’s worse than I can really tell–I’m not exactly using a passable monitor. 🙂
wow – nice save! that’s a great capture. such joy! glad you could salvage it. 🙂
