Hollie Nass
WOW! That camera is working out just fine for you.. I love this!
Sarah Pett-Noble replied
Thanks buddy, I’m getting used to it. I got a second hand lens, a Pentax 50mm 1.7 which I really like. The camera has a tendency to underexpose a little which is easy to compensate for, but otherwise I’m quite happy with it. Its certainly a bit smaller and lighter than my old Nikon. :o)
Natalia Campbell
awww this is soo adorable!! wow that blue eyes are stunning!

Thanks so much, Natalia :o)

Awwww! Such a stunning image. Love it!
High Key treatment? Interesting. I’ll have to give that a try sometimes..
Sarah Pett-Noble replied
Hi, thanks for the visit & for the watch, glad you like this … I say ‘high key treatment’ as though i have some sort of set technique lol but really I just mess around with curves and levels and stuff in photoshop!!
MoxieNox
Gotcha! I play with curves too so I totally got it.. I thought there was a filter or something called ‘High Key’ for PS that I could just click and it’ll do all the work. hahaha.. I love PS too.
Sarah Pett-Noble replied
LOL mawahaha LOL I wish, you just put a big smile on my face :o))) I’d love a plug-in that could do high key for me hehe. xx
