After a computer issue (how would you like to get the message that your CS3 license had expired?? ), here are some old images from my first digital P&S (Canon G2) and my first DSLR (Canon 10D). They're pretty rough, so there should be some challenges involved in getting them to look decent:

Enjoy

Suzi, re the license expiration: it's a known problem usually associated with trial versions of Adobe software - but I didn't have one of those so who knows what caused it. In any event, they had a detailed repair procedure on their website and it worked (phew!).

Vacation destination is nostalgic: Ocean City, New Jersey, where my family went for vacations from the 40's through the 60's. Very nice family town, and we're fortunate that our children and their spouses and my sister and her children will be able to get together there for a few days. Ready to go!!

Enjoy brother Chuck, there is nothing like been with your love ones.

My apologies to the City of Boston!

Playing with the Adjustment Brush - seems kind of sluggish.

Did some dodging, then switched to Grayscale, added vignetting, then played with the Split Toning.

Cute little fellow.
