Discovery- Blogging all about Pebbles and BamBam

It has been absolutely gorgeous weather here this last week on the San Francisco Peninsula. It doesn't get too too hot here, but it does get really windy, especially in San Mateo/Foster City where we live. The last couple of nights the weather's been warm and not too windy, and perfect for taking the kiddos outside after dinner to run around. During these nights, both Noah and Nicole have discovered dandelions and flowers. And much to my delight, they love to bring me bunches of flowers (and a few weeds mixed in for good measure).

These photos were taken of Nicole the other night. She loves to hunt and search for dandelions and loves even more to blow them away. The photos were taken with my 50 mm 1.8 in manual mode.


The first picture is the post-processed version. The photo was adjusted for skin tones. Notice that in the SOOC shots that her skin looks a bit gray. I've learned that digital cameras do this to skin tones and she has a bluish color cast from the shade she was in, so sometime this needs a bit of fixing later in post-processing. I than ran a color boost action from Brenda Acuncius, and Pioneer Woman's Color Boost action. To top it off I added a soft pastel wash from the Child's play Workflow set. Lastly, I cropped, resized for the web.



This is SOOC, no adjustments.
