I recently took a trip to Colorado and posted a bunch of photos on our family blog. I had lots of people wanting to know the techniques I used to put some “wow” into the photography. Check out the photos here…







So, let’s have some fun. I’ll reward those who participate by letting you in on some private tips, tricks and secrets on how to put some dazzle into your shots. Here’s the deal:

Do your own version of improving, enhancing and otherwise putting “wow” into this image


Put up a post on your blog displaying your enhanced photo, and explaining what you did


Come back to this post, and enter your photo and blog post on the Thumbnail Linky below (I’ve put in the first link just to show you how the Thumbnail linky works)


Then, I’ll do a private online demonstration of what I do to get my outdoor photography to come alive, and send a link to every person who participated by following these instructions and entered the Thumbnail Linky list.


On Friday of this week, I’ll do a very informative demonstration and teach you not only how to do the photo enhancements, but how to LOOK AT photos and “see” what kind of improvements are needed.






Here’s the photo we’ll all be working on:
