Not yellow hair, but yellow leaves. It’s the best I can do.
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.

Thanks. I’m experimenting with techniques, and I really like some of them.

I love that you chose a single color – I was thinking the same thing – Fall is my favorite season.

Thanks. Really, it chose it self. This is New England so I have a lot of foliage pictures. Plus I just got the new NIK suite and I’ve been playing with effects. This gave me motivation to mess around with various effects. It was mostly all one tree … one enormous old maple that had turned completely yellow gold. I took about 60 shots of it last October. So the choice was pretty easy.

What is the NIK suite please?

First, here’s a link: http://www.amazon.com/Nik-Software-Complete-Collection-Professional/dp/B001HARW30/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
This is a link to the collection on Amazon, but it’s actually a Google suite of tools that works with Photoshop and I believe other graphic programs. They give you a lot of control over how you sharpen, brighted, and manipulate light and color in a digital photograph … finer tuning than you have using Photoshop alone and different. I don’t know which other graphic products they work with, but they do work with other tools. They had a “special” last week, the whole suite for $150 and I’ve been having a ton of fun with them since. Eventually it will probably be just another set of special filters and tools, but right now, they are a wonderful new toy and I’m having lots of fun.

My challenge is figuring out all the Blog features. I do not have Photoshop nor a camera yet- it was stolen in Germany. I have some minimal features on my MacBook Pro however. Do you have to have Photoshop to apply the Suite?

You will have to check the NIK site. I believe it works with other graphics packages and may work alone. I’m not sure, honestly. I just got them last week. Check out: http://support.google.com/nikcollection/ and see if you can find the information you need.
They do have some pretty good tutorials on WordPress. That’s how I learned to do almost everything. Start here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page and see if you can get at least the basic stuff worked out. That’s how I did it and the information is reasonably well-written and they cover most stuff you need to know. I found some things I wanted to do turned out to be impossible. Check it out. Good luck!!

It’s doable. Audio wasn’t supported when I started, but they’ve added a lot of audio and video functionality in recent months. I don’t use it and I’m not sure whether all templates support every format. Good luck!!
