light, color, saturation, shading

If you ask me about gmail, I will tell you the wonderful amazement that is google. Gmail comes with a web album and a picture program you can download. I've just recently realized that you can edit photos on the Picasa program from google. I wanted to do some editing on photos I've take recently so I went looking for some effects and what not. Since I found the edit function on Picasa, I've been going through some pictures of mine that I liked to see if I could make any improvements. 
I also wanted to edit some photos me and the ladies took for my Mom's 50th birthday. When I went to Oklahoma for Kelly's graduation the sisters decided we needed to take some pictures together. One of Kelly's friends was nice enough to take some pictures with us (with her nice expensive camera). We had a lot of fun doing it. Here are some I edited (except the first one is all her)


This one actually took a bit of climbing






I love this one because it shows off the gorgeous natural colors in Oklahoma. 










This one is from the river valley out by Cooper's Landing (not Oklahoma). It was taken some time ago. 


One thing that catches me eye in some photos is the saturation of color, like in this one. The one above too.


This is the barn we took pictures around. Nobody seemed to mind, the gate was open.



The windmills in Oklahoma are so fascinating. They are massive and eerily quiet when you get close to them. They are also sooo much bigger than they look like in these pictures. If someone were standing at the base of the windmill in the foreground, I doubt you could make anything out besides a small blob.


I like the way this one is framed, the curve of the gravel and the blades specifically.
