Summer Fun...

It's that time again...summer is upon us! Over the weekend we spent the day at Mark's parents place just relaxing and spending time with our various cousins. This was a great opportunity to try out the new camera and learn all the controls before our trip.

Plus it gave me more opportunities to try out some of the cool presets that I have for LightRoom! I'd downloaded a bundle a few weeks ago and have been itching to try them out on something. Little M girl above was having a field day with her ice cream.

Since we were taking pictures pretty much at noon time, the lighting was tough. However, Little K was lying on the swing under the pergola so it was a little easier to shoot her. I love the soft and squishy preset that I applied to her pic.

Bubbles were a theme of the day and after a while they figured out that slower was better when trying to make huge bubbles. N was watching little K run around in the above shot. I like the old skool preset - it's just a little boy and his bubbles!

A few of their bubbles were picked up by the breeze and sent soaring - much to amazement of N and K. All in all a very relaxing day spent with family and friends. Now if every weekend could be like that I might just say I'm in heaven!
