こんばんは！Hello again!

Today’s photo is one that I took while watching Koa’s baseball team practice as the sky lost its light. I took the photo in color and converted it to black in white using Lightroom and tweaked a bit using the Exposure, Highlights, Shadows, Black, and White sliders. I’m quite pleased how it turned out!

I usually use Nik Silver EFX to do any black and white adjustments, but decided to try a new technique I learned after watching a video on Youtube. It’s a quick and easy way to adjust black and white images, loosely based on Ansel Adams’ workflow.

Well, that’s all from me for today. Let’s have a great Thursday!

おやすみなさい！

 Fall Baseball

Baseball games always cause me to have a lot of stress, so I don’t really like to watch. But I am there at my son’s games to offer him my support and encouragement! And just look at that hit!

BTW, here’s a fantastic article about how to be a good “sports parent”. Valuable stuff!

This Fall, Koa will start his third season playing Little League Baseball. He’s improved a lot since his first season and we’re happy that his time at the batting cages is paying off. Besides playing baseball, he’s into following the MLB season, especially the Dodgers. I’m glad he’s so interested in baseball!
