I started taking my photography semi-serious about 4 years ago. Then, with the election of a new President, I found out that I would be losing my job at Kennedy Space Center. I became a lot more serious real fast. When I first started out, I was using Photoshop Elements 5. It did everything that I ever wanted, healing brush, clone, vignette, and soften. I practiced until I could take a face full of pimples and make it look as smooth as a baby's butt. As I progressed as a photographer, my technology didn't. It really hit home when I was at a workshop Holly Gordon put on a few weeks ago and I believe I was the only one there that wasn't running "real Photoshop" and Lightroom. Joey Wright did a class on workflow while I was there and I was blown away by the speed at which he could go through images and pick the keepers. The transition between Lightroom and Photoshop astounded me. Well that was nothing the credit card and the internet couldn't remedy, I ordered Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom. Welcome to the the 21st century. Today I am going over to Joey's for some Lightroom training. I hope he can bring this caveman up to speed. This is the first image that I have processed in CS5. It's a little different, but I think I like it already. The Model in the image is Makayla Goings, she rocks!
