Took this photo the other day, just adjusted it with Elements a bit. I really am liking this program!

oooh that looks lovely if you don't mind me asking wha settings did you use to take the picures (I'd love to read all about the settings used)? Oh and what exactly did you do the picture, I mean the editing part thanks for sharing.

that's a gorgeous picture and loving the borders.

That is definitely a nice picture. I always loved taking black and white photos.

I usually take my photos in Av (Aperture Priority) mode. The lens was the 50mm f/1.8 with a Hoya filter.

1/400 sec.
F/8
ISO 800

The only thing I did in Elements was make it black and white, adjust it for size and add the border around it!

Cool

Hey what's this Hoya filter stuff? What does the filter do?

Thanks for sharing

It filters the light coming into the lens but also protects the glass of your lens!
