The View From My Lens

CKU – Nashville 2007

September 23, 2007 at 9:37 pm (Uncategorized)

So, I went to CKU Albums in Atlanta last year.  I was living in NC, so it wasn’t that bad of a drive.  I had a BLAST, met some really great friends, was in a dorm, the whole she-bang.  I was so looking forward to this year, when CKU headed to Nashville.  However, in between the time at Atlanta, and our trip to Nashville, CKU changed the format.  I really was disappointed.  I didn’t enjoy many of my classes, and most of it seemed geared towards beginner scrapbookers, which is FINE, but advertise it as such, so I don’t end up spending $345 + hotel and food to ‘learn’ stuff I already know!

 I do have to say, the venue WAS awesome and did provide a great opportunity for some beautiful photos.  I’m shooting in RAW now, and since I use a Nikon, they have to make it difficult and make them NEF instead of RAW, so it takes me a little longer to edit.  Anyway, so here are a few.  I’ll even add the ones I ran some actions on to soften them up, the before and after.  I also may try the Orten Technique on some and post them later.

I have more to add, but right now, I have a little toddler who is refusing to go to bed.  So I must go tend to him.

Have a great day!!
