Kept thinking of this assignment all day and wasn't quite sure what I could take a picture of. Just got home after a great dinner with two great friends. Had been feeling kind of down lately and they certainly know how to cheer me up. But when I first read this assignment I thought that I had to set the timer for exactly 10 minutes. And I knew that the only place I'd be is sitting on my couch, and there aren't many pictures that I could take from my couch. Luckily, the timer went off just as I was using the computer and figured this was as good a picture as any. But as I tried to get a close up I kept thinking that I felt like a drunken sailor, pitching from side to side. Thought I should try to get my tripod so that I could steady the camera but ended up using the back of the kitchen chair. Picture came out clear enough. Sharpened up the color with photoshop- always looks good enough in the camera but when I upload it into photoshop it's usually a little too dark. Don't know why....yet. (As I've said before it's a work in progress!) Photoshop is really amazing. When I first uploaded this picture the upper keys had a slight greenish tint to them. By just adjusting the hue and saturation levels I was able to eliminate most of the green. Aren't computers great! Now if only the camera user could figure out how to get the camera to do all that work. I know it's possible.
