Capricorn Horse Camp Photos

We thought we would share a couple of our favorite photos that were taken during the week at the Capricorn Equestrian horse camp. We enjoy watching, and documenting, the campers as they progress in their horse skills as the week passes by. We hope you enjoy the photos.

Horse Camp Update

We have been busy with horse camp and really enjoy taking photos during the week. One of the highlights we look forward to each week is the last day of camp; not because it is the last day of camp; but because we love giving the complimentary photos to the students and parents and seeing their reactions. We thought it would be fun to share a couple of the photos we’ve taken this week. We hope you enjoy!

New Look – New Features

We’re in the process of updating the PhotoBlast site. If you’ve visited here before you can already tell there is a big change to the way the site looks. We’ll be tweaking it over the next few days and weeks.

We’re also adding some new features for our clients. We’ve got the new interface that allows online ordering of your photos (See Your Photos). and we’ll be making some changes to the new features as well.

We’re also excited about the summer… We’re going to be working with Capricorn Equestrian each week, taking photos for the summer camps as they happen. Fun times ahead.

Thanks for visiting,

#55 - Challenge

This week at I Heart Faces, this lovely little one was featured. The photo is a slightly more challenging due to color tones and sharpness, and I wasn’t sure where the photo would lead me. I took a little time to play with a few options and here is where we came out.

Here is the original:

I decided to start by correcting the skin tones and adding a little sharpness. I used the I Correct Photo filter to do the main color correction. Once the color was set, I added a levels adjustment to brighten the photo a bit. I also used the EZ Eye Care action from EZ Actions to do some work on the eyes to brighten, whiten, and add some slight enhancements.

Here is where the photo was at that stage:

I thought the photo lent itself to a porcelain effect, but was concerned about her dress. This is because the dress has those dark tones and the very dark tones don’t play nice in a porcelain effect. Porcelain photo do much better when the photo is high key (white on white). So, I played with the EZA Porcelain action to see how it might work. I liked the approach and needed to do a crop and add a border, but I think the end state of the photo was what I was looking for.

Here is the final:
 

Added one more…
I call this… Pretty in Pink

I hope you enjoy my attempt this week.
