January 17, 2008

Happy Birthday to me (1-17)! I can't believe I'm 31 years old-I can't believe all that God has given me in 31 short years.

Snapped a shot of my youngest DD after she got home from school today. Still working on my conversions, this was a gradient map adj. layer, then an adj. curves layer with a slight c-curve, then pushing the whites in and blacks in.

85mm. ss/100, f/3.2, ISO 400.
