Guest Shutter – Renae rolls in the leaves

Okay…busy busy day here….

Renae sent the following…

So on one of those insanely beautiful summer like days
we had last week, I was completely inspired to get
outside and take some photos of the color that was
bursting all over the yard. I just HAD to get out.
It was so compelling, I ignored the kids’ cries for
lunch, dragged them out to the back yard, and let them
throw acorns at each other while I shot 111 photos! I
had no idea I took that many. And unfortunately I was
quite disappointed with many of the shots. They came
out NOTHING like I was seeing with my own two eyes.
But it didn’t matter, it was a gorgeous day and I had
fun. And now all the leaves are on the ground and I
am SO happy I took the photos when I did. I love autumn.

Well…I think you will love some of Renae’s shots…check out her gallery.

Check back this afternoon for some great stuff from our IvoryHut!

Guest Shutter – What it is all about!

Last week, Karmardav uploaded some images to our webgallery and asked for comments. One picture of a butterfly garnered much attention, with folks commenting on the beauty of the subject and how just a little enhancement could take the image from Snap shot to Super Shot. Well, Karmardav too all the comments with grace and elegance and asked if any of us felt we were up to the challenge of taking the butterfly to the next level. In steps IvoryHut with CS2 Photoshop on her photo utility belt, offering help. They talked about how to get the file from one to the other and back…and folks…THEY DID IT! Here are the results!

The shot as Karmardav took it…

I don’t know what I find more beautiful…the image or Shutters being Shutters…simply moving!
