Cousins

I went to Dallas last week and my mom wanted me to take some pictures of all her grand kids.  The kiddos were great-everyone smiled and looked at me--for the most part!  :)!  I forgot that my niece was wearing her glasses in all the shots and had to learn how to correct glasses glare via Photoshop.  That was a bit tough and every tutorial I looked up to learn how to accomplish this pretty much said, "Get it right when you shoot, ya schumck, and then you don't have to do this complicated correction!"  Noted!!  I just didn't even give her glasses a passing thought because she is always wearing them and I forget that they are even on her face.  Can we blame this on pregnancy brain?  Pretty please?  :)!  Anyway,  I had one shot where most everyone was looking good and that had no glare.  Then, I had two others where I tried my hand at glare correction.  I think they turned out decent enough.  So here they are!

This first one is the one where I didn't correct any glare.


Here is a before and after shot of glare correction.


Here is the second before and after shot with glare correction.


One note:  For some odd reason that is currently beyond me, some pictures I post are significantly lighter here than they are on my computer.  So the lighting is beautiful on my computer and then I post it and it looks overexposed.  I need to fix that problem somehow, but I don't have much time these days!  Anyway, forgive the supposed overexposure and know that it's really great looking on my computer...not that that helps you guys!  :)!
