Fire Angel

While on a long walk through town. I took my camera and imagination with me. It was good to get in a long walk (5 miles) and to take some pictures along the way.

This picture is of a fairy in a garden. But fire fairy just doesn't sound as good as Fire Angel. So it's my picture and I can name it what I like.

When I looked at this figurine, I decided that shooting it about 1 stop underexposed would give the look I wanted to capture, and it did.

Picasa 3

Picasa 3 beta is out. For those of you who do not have the cash to purchase Photoshop or other professional photo tool. Then start with Picasa if you are on a PC, on the Mac of course you start with iphoto. Picasa even views .PSD files.

Picasa has a feature to create collages. This is new to Picasa and I'm not sure what I will use it for. But maybe take a series of photos that you like, and make a single photo collage. Print it large so that the pictures are recognizable.

I quickly through together the layout from a recent wedding shoot for an example. Enjoy.
