New Photo actions

We’ve just released some brand new actions. The new actions are producing some really stunning photos and we can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with. The actions, which work in Photoshop (PS7 – PSCS5) as well as in Photoshop Elements (PSE2 – PSE9) can be found at www.ezactions.com. Here are a few examples:

5 Minute Make-over

A week ago, we took a hike around a local lake. Mostly we just wanted to get out and get some fresh air and exercise (can never get enough of that can we?). We took our cameras along and took a few shots. I thought it would be neat to play with one of the photos and share the results with you.

What if you could take this original photo:

and in less than 5 minutes come up with a bunch of variations like these:

It took me less than 5 minutes to come up with all of the variations you see above. This is pretty much how I get images to “speak” to me. I run the actions from EZ Actions (www.ezactions.com) and see which variation stands out to me. I can literally come up with these variations in minutes. Once I know which direction works best for a photo, the fun really begins. I take the variation that represents the direction I want to go with the image and can spend my precious post production time creating the finished photo.

Photo Friday – Capricorn Photos

Here is it Friday again and we thought we’d share a couple of our favorite photos from the week at Capricorn Summer Camp. We’ll be there again today for the Horse Show and we’ll put the photos online later tonight (or tomorrow morning).

We’ve also set up the photos so that you can send cards without a watermark on them (under the Events – See Your Photos link above). We hope you enjoy the photos as much as we have enjoyed taking them.

Some of our favorites from the week:

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!
