How I Edit My Photos

I have a little secret to share with everyone. Yes, I use a Nikon D60 DSLR camera. I love this camera, but it's the smaller DSLR version. I used to have a D70 and I use a D80 at work. But really my secret is....the I shoot in program or automatic. I know, I know...all this fancy equipment and I don't utilize it. Really, I don't have time to mess with my camera. I have way too many things going on. I should probably take a class or something. Everyone I know who's in the photography biz, uses Canon. I have nothing against Canon, but we use Nikon's at work, so that's why I use Nikon at home.

But how do I do all these really awesome things with my camera? Well they are awesome to me! I usually have a third person with me, when I'm out and about with Angry Toddler. He's just moving way too fast, and I can't take that many pictures when it's just the two of us. So I'm able to focus more on the picture, and what I want from it. I also take pictures when I'm by myself. All my Wordless Wednesday Disney Pictures, were mostly taken when it was just my mom and I on a recent trip to Disneyland. I was able to focus on the awesomeness of Disneyland; the lights, the buildings, the food, and of course the characters.

I use an online program, called Picnik, to edit my photos. It is free, but you can upgrade your membership to have more options. I have an upgraded membership. I'm going to show you some cool stuff that I did with Picnik. If you read my blog enough, you see that I like to round the corners of my photos. That is actually a frame from Picnik.

Using Some Halloween Techniques.

Seriously this is so easy to use. Plus it does not edit the original photo. You can always go back to the original. I love it. And my favorite part, since it's not computer software, you can edit your photos from any computer with Internet access.

  1. Ooh, this is neat-o!

    I downloaded a photo editing program called Photoscape to do all of my fancy little photo edits.

    I'll have to try out Picnik when, heaven forbid, I don't have my nifty new Netbook and Passport in my purse. Oh crap, now I'm going to get mugged. Eff!

  2. That Halloween technique is brilliant - I use Picnik but haven't seen that.

    I love that you still use automatic even though you have a fancy camera. I want to upgrade my camera but felt as though I wouldn't be using all the fancy buttons so it wouldn't be worth it. Now I'm inspired to upgrade.
