Another of our activities for this week is the manipulation of images. Earlier this year, I participated in a one day, Photoshop course. I manipulated a number of images but the one I have decided to share is below. I uploaded this image to Facebook many months ago and use it as my cover photo. Recently, an uncle from England had a birthday and I sent a message wishing him a Happy Birthday. He replied and asked when I went to Paris and why didn't I visit as he lives only an hour away and we could have had a cup of tea and a hug!!! Quite an amusing moment! This proved to me that I am quite capable at using Photoshop and that it is a wonderful tool for manipulating images.

The next photo is one that I set up so that I could give the picture to a good friend for Christmas. The photo is, again, one of my daughters. I saw a similar photo on the internet and loved what it said and thought that my teacher friend would really like it. I made the sign and asked Katelyn to hold it for me. We went to a number of places in the bush land surrounding our town and I took many shots. I then enhanced some of the best photos and put them on Facebook (hiding them from mutual friends) and asked my friends and family to vote on their favourite one. I then enlarged and printed the photo and had it framed. It is now hanging above her desk in the staffroom, one of the students saw it one day and said that she should have it hanging in her classroom because it was so good.
