I browse through photographers’ blogs quite often and I’m just amazed at how beautiful their photos are. I can’t seem to create photos as beautiful as theirs. I know they do some tweaking to come up with such amazing photos, but I didn’t know how much until I read one of my favorite photographer, Becker‘s post series: Massaging in Photoshop. The series is pretty cool and very informative.I guess I have to do more than sharpening and cropping my photos lol. I also need to learn more about photography. I’ve never taken any lessons. Before I was also thinking that I may need better equipment, but now maybe not.
Here is a slideshow of my aunt’s niece, Elyssa’s photos. All the photos are straight out of the camera. I didn’t even bother to open Photoshop. Song is My Child’s Eyes by Paige Stroman.

UPDATE:
I finally did more editing than just sharpening and cropping. Click here for the edited photos.
Nice photos too. 
Nice shots. Well done. But maybe the lights are a little bit hard in the front. You should try some outside shots at a sunny day.
