2Lips, Hot Air and a Squirrel

[returnofsid]

So the other day, Angie comes home and informs me that there's a hot air balloon being inflated, at a park, 3 blocks from our home. The weather being nice, for a change, and already having the camera out, I decided to go for a walk.

The balloon was only being inflated, to test equipment and such. It wasn't being launched, yet.

so...back down it came.

While walking home, I stopped to smell the roses...errr...Tulips, as did a squirrel!

Random pics, taken on the remainder of my walk.

A few more...

Then back at home, in our own yard, the grapes are starting to bloom.

The Bleeding Hearts are off to a great start!

One last set of lips.

Very cool! Great photos. Looks like that squirrel is about to attack the dog...lol.

So, having never been much for photo editing, since I barely know how to do anything, I've been messing around with Photoshop CS5 lately, to work with some Senior Pics I took, in RAW. RAW is something else I'm only in the beginning stages of learning about...lol

Anyway, the above photos were all taken in .JPG, but I decided to fiddle with them, a little bit, in PS. Here we go.

After

I made slight adjustments to Exposure, Levels and Saturation.

Those turned out really nice.

Yeah, I guess they kinda did. I need to learn how to do photo editing, better. I know there are specific ways to do things, and a specific order that different steps should be taken in, to save the most amount of the photo's memory. BUT, I have no idea what those specific ways/steps/order are...lol.

Very nice pics.
I also thought the thread title was going to produce a joke. LOL
