week nine.

Every Christmas Eve, my family goes sledding. This is a picture of my sisters sledding. 

This is just a funny picture of my sister. Haha, that's it. :)

After my family went down the sledding hill. As you can see, some people didn't stay on the sled the whole time. 

My older sister getting some air off a jump. It took about ten tries until I finally caught the perfect shot. 

When I got to the studio, we did our usual things. We looked at the pictures I had taken the past week and fiddled around with them on photoshop. This time I had more pictures than usual because of Christmas Break. One thing I kept doing is clipping parts of pictures such as feet, heads, and other objects. Another tip he gave me for fast shots is to set the camera onto multiple shots instead of just single shots. After the picture reviewing, we again talked about photoshop. When I was at home working on some of my pictures, I didn't know how to make layers and put the actions on them. He told me to hit command "J" to duplicate a layer. After there is a duplicate layer, I can screen the picture (lighten) or even multiply (darken) the picture.

Dan offered to help me with my photoshop elements sometime. He also mentioned about going to Barnes and Noble during one of our meeting times to find a book on photoshop elements 8 and how to use it. 

Next week, Dan and I are going to visit Kaladi Bros. in Anchorage because there was a photographer who put his work there named Shalem Mathew. I'm excited to see what kind of pictures he has in his gallery thing at Kaladi Bros.
