At the Lake

We went to the beach the other night. When I took the picture, what I saw in the viewfinder was halfway to what I wanted. I shot this on my Nikon D80 with automatic settings. I edited the photo in PicMonkey trying a whole bunch of stuff. I love the silhouette effect on Trey because you can definitely tell it is him. I tried black and white and didn't like it as much as this.

Here is the original raw photo.
My favorite time at the lake or beach is after 5:00 pm.

 A character of all proportion. Primed and ready!

 The polliwogs arrived courtesy of the big kids' catching skills.

Joshua knew all about how frogs grow. I LOVE that he is telling us more and more about what he learned in China.

The ducks came by.

 A mama and her teenagers who must 

have hatched quite early this year.

I think I may try these photos in PicMonkey as well.
