Almost Spring

We’ve had a few days of clear skies and relatively warmer evenings. So, on Tuesday I took the dog for a long walk along Embarcadero and brought my camera along. I love that magical hour when the sun has set but there’s still enough light to paint the sky.

Oh! Now I get it!

I’ve been taking this Photoshop Class at the studio down the street for the past 3 weeks and I’m learning a bunch of new tricks. I’ve been using PS for a really long time but kinda just figured it out on my own with some trial and error. I had a feeling that I was doing things either incorrectly or the long way so I thought that this class would clear things up a bit. And so it has!! I always dabbled in layers and thought I understood how masks worked but now I really get it!! I had a couple “aha” moments this evening and can’t wait to apply what I’ve learned to my own photos. By the way, RayKo is a great studio! They have wet and digital photography labs with lots of exhibits out front and a store that sells toy cameras. Woot! The best thing about this place is how close it is to home. At the tail end of Week 2 with out a car, it’s still working out well.
