Snow days and gradient maps!!!

It snowed here in Greenville a last week so I headed out the door to take some snow pics.. I didn't get very far because it was cold and wet, and I didn't want my camera to get wet.. so. I stopped right at the front door and took some pictures of the bushes! While in class today I learned how to make different gradient maps in photoshop. I have had so much fun this afternoon working with different colors. Here is a shot I got with snow on the bushes, using a gradient map layer....

Off Camera Flash fun!

Yesterday I met up with some area photographers to work on some off camera flash. Thanks to Julie Mixon for setting everything up for us! It was great fun getting together with everyone and learning fun new things! My friends, Kimberlea, Tina and Jeremy did a wonderful job being our models! Here are some of the shots from the day!
