K-Boyd-Photography

Hi everyone! It's been ages since I've been on here but I've been thinking about all my friends....I miss our chats! I'd love to get back in touch with many of you - I'm on Facebook a lot these days...are any of you on Facebook? If you are, please look me up 'Karen Boyd' in Marquay, France. Hope to hear from you! Karen :heart:

...in your world? I've been so absent from here that I've just about lost touch with everyone that I ever chatted with!   I'm not promising any new photos soon - coz I might not be able to keep that promise - but I do want to keep in touch with you guys! I'm still plugging away at my art course, it's going good :w00t: I'm still trying to get my blurry images problem solved - working on it! I finally sold a print on Redbubble, and two cards, and I have someone else interested in prints on another site! Art is keeping me busy too, still trying to master those damned watercolours! :D Gotta go for now but I hope everyone is well :heart:

:santa: :rudolph: :snowflake: Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season and a happy and healthy year in 2011! :snowflake: :rudolph: :santa:

...they don't look right... I've just spent some time with some photos that I took this afternoon and I must say I am very disappointed with how they look on here!  I'm having real problems with sharpness and colour (two kinda basic requirements! :laughing:) If I use my camera's own software, I get super sharp images.  If I save these and upload them in PS to resize and sign, they look overprocessed, oversharp, really bad.  So I tried loading directly to PS.  I got good results, I thought!  Uploading these images to DA seems to have sapped all the colour out of them and the sharpness has gone! Where am I going wrong?  Or has something chan

:faint: ... already! Well I think I've got a better idea on how to handle these over bright images!  High contrast is obviously not my thing and I'm struggling but I got a few 'results' today! Next step...more kit! :laughing:  Time for a ND Grad filter...and a polarising filter for the big lens! Christmas is on the way...wonder how long my wishlist will be by then! :giggle: (Mentally adding on 'new kit bag' coz current one's too small!) Gotta run for now...gotta get to bed more like, it's 2.39am! Enjoy the rest of the weekend guys! :blowkiss: Other Stuff My first steps into photography ~pens-n-feathers (https://www.deviantart.com/pens-n-feathers) now with new ART works! No l
