Name the Photo!

I plan on entering these three photos to A High School Visual Arts Exhibition in Merriam, Ks. Problem, all three need a name. Now, I can take fairly decent photographs, but I can NOT name them.

That's where you guys come in. Come up with a name for one or all three of the following photos, and post it in the comment box. (I thought about a prize for the winner, but I couldn't come up with anything...)

Things You Should Know

(low light; sooc)
  • My DSLR arrived on Monday. It's a Canon Rebel XS. It's beautiful. And it takes amazingly good pictures. Seriously, when I open photoshop, all I have to do is a quick levels adujstment.
  • I'll be taking my brother's senior photos next week at Minor Park.
  • My wisdom teeth are being removed on Monday. It's quite an interesting procedure: They make an incision in my gum, saw the tooth in half, pull the pieces out (obviously) and stitch me back up. The only problem is that I don't really like the oral surgeon. And I won't get to eat for 12 hours before the surgery, and probably several hours after the surgery as well. Poor stomach. :( I also plan to watch Hidalgo when I get home, If I can stay awake. I hope it will be good.
  • It's not easy reading 3 books at once.
  • Hopefully I'll be seeing UP! next week.
  • I have new glasses (which you can see in my new profile pic, which was taken by my XS), and the prescription is just strong enough that it's slightly hard to sit at the computer, but I MUST use my glasses if I want to be able to see the computer screen. So I just sit slightly farther away. It's still weird, though.
  • I love blocks.
  • If I were a hobbit, I would marry Bilbo.
  • I will be taking the PSAT this fall, the SAT next spring, and visiting colleges as well. Eesh. I feel old. =D And, I have no idea what colleges I'm even interested in.
  • And I think that's all I have to say.
  • Goodbye.

So. We went for a drive...

...and the lighting was beautiful! This picture was shot at 5:18PM. Please forgive the blurriness, I was in the car. The picture really doesn't do it justice...Oh well. This is SOOC--no editing except resizing.

I Heart Faces Week 11


So. I'm finally gonna do it. Here is my contribution to iHeartFaces' weekly photo challenge. This week's theme is No Flash.
This was lit by some really pretty western light coming through my bedroom window. I was bored. I'd show you the original SOOC shot, but I'm not brave enough.

7 reasons why I love Photoshop

The top picture is the original, and the second picture is right after I used the Healing brush to smooth out her skin. (I had to have 9 pictures to create a collage without any repeats.) The rest are my different edits. Picture courtesy of I Heart Faces Fix-it Friday.
