Lovely pictures! I love PW’s actions too, I use the 70s action on literally every photo I take! I have to remind myself not to overdo it though, I think I still need to tone it down a lot It’s so easy to get carried away with these great actions!

no, i shoot in jpgs. i think it depends on how much post production you want to do with your photos. raw files would give you more leverage over jpgs. i am trying to learn to use my dslr properly instead of relying on post production… tho all the filter sets are super fun and it is so easy to get carry away!!

also, raw files are so much larger than jpgs. it would probably kill my harddrive in no time…

Hooray for Pioneer Woman! Aren’t her actions great! I discovered them recently and have been having lots of fun. I like the basic sharpening one she has, it really adds a crispness to my photos. I will add some of those to my flickr soon. Thanks for the info about the Coffee Shop! Love how your 365 is shaping up. Bravo!

Hi There,

I am not surprised that you have a baackground in art. I’ve been enjoying your 365photos as much as I do your sewing posts.

It’s easy to get lost in the photoblogs out there.

I like Shuttersisters.com But if you check out 2010.bloggies.com there are some photoblogs up for nomination worth checking out. Also photojojo.com and photodino.wordpress.com

thank you for all your wonderful blog suggestions. i’ve added oodles of them to my googlereader.

ellen – our program wasn’t really techy, it was just a long time ago! thank goodness, cuz i’m not a techy person at all.

michelle – hmm, a darkroom at the workroom?! thanks for putting that idea into my head!

tina – i’ve been thinking of trying lightroom. do you shoot your files in RAW?

adobe lightroom is another great program if you are interested in doing more post production with your photos. I have just started using it myself, wanting to make my 365 photos better. there are also filter sets you can download for the program too.

lightroom is less intrusive than photoshop in terms of making adjustments to your photo files.

Thank you for sharing the great links. I can’t use PW’s because I have PSE but I’m loving the ones from Coffee Shop.

The only two photography sites (how-to’s vs just eyecandy) in my reader are Digital Photography School and Strobist. DIY Photography is also fun, and I might eventually subscribe to it.

And I miss the days of film too… are you going to convert one of the Workroom’s bathrooms into darkroom as your 2010 project?!
