Let’s try a photo post to see how it looks.

This is meant to show a photo SOOC (straight out of camera) and what it looks like when I am done processing it using Photoshop and/or Lightroom.

In this particular case, I did not need to change the exposure, but I added some “Vibrance” and “Clarity” in Lightroom.

I’m also posting this to see how it will work to use the Smugmug site to host the pics for the blog, and how the two will integrate.

I have known a few people in my life who wish it were this easy.

Whenever you start learning an instrument there comes a point where it starts to feel natural and you begin to make music. I think we’re seeing this moment here on YouTube. I like it.

Plus this gives me a chance to see if I can embed a YouTube video into the blog.
