and then she snapped: show {off} your shot

how cute are these two little dudes? if you'd like to see more of them check out my friend Mandey's blog, they are ALL over the place over there.

help yourself to my winner winner button, Mandey!

let's talk about noise, shall we? not the kind that runs rampant at my house with three kids and a husband...but the kind that makes my pictures look all grainy when I inadvertantly set the ISO way too high. remember this picture of Camden's birthday cupcake? the one on the left is soooo "noisy". but the one on the right I simpy ran through noiseware community edition, a FREE download from imagenomic. (and I used their auto settings, you could get all snazzy if you want, but I have no idea how to do such a thing). they also have a paid, pro-edition, but I just used the free one and was quite pleased with the results, I mean, it's not perfect, but I can definitely see the difference, can you?

Now it's your turn! What tip can you share this week?

I have the free edition of noiseware too, but opted to stop using it. I noticed it was shrinking my image size! Have you noticed this?

Excellent portraits, there is nothing as difficult as discovering the soul and feelings

That community edition works pretty good. The only thing I didn't like was that it erased my exif data, but if you use the improved version as a layer on top of your original, you can still hold onto the data. Okay, enough of me - great shot!
