Long time…

Sep 22

I know it’s been a long time…again! I am horrible about editing or sticking to my posting system. I’m working on getting better at it. I just purchased a masterclass for photo editing in the software program I use and I’m learning some new techniques and hopefully it will teach me some things to make editing quicker, easier and more enjoyable. As I’ve mentioned before, it’s not my favorite. I could should .jpg and have my computer do the editing for me, but you have so much more flexibility in shooting the way I do (which is in RAW). I am thinking once I get better at editing, I might go back and edit some of the pics I have edited in the past to make them more like I imagined. One step at a time.

My husband and I went on a trip to Iceland back in August. We took a cruise around the island and have eight port stops. It was interesting, but by far the best part of the trip was seeing the Atlantic Puffins, which was the next bird on my bucket list to see! Our first stop at the Látrabjarg cliffs we spotted two. The two Puffins without fish in their mouths are from that visit. I’m not sure if it was the same bird or different ones as they had a habit of mysteriously showing up on the cliff without you seeing them flying in. There were a few other birds I got to see and photograph on our trip. Actually, I saw 26 new lifers, but not every new bird I was able to capture with a good photo. Some are what I call “evidence shots” or something like that. Where you have proof you’ve seen them, but they are not good enough photos to edit. Some are actually awful. LOL

Hope and pray you’re all doing well. I’m working on a “system” of editing and posting and hopefully that will become more regular. And I’m praying more enjoyable! :).
