This is the Conservatory Garden…part of the oh so beautiful and amazing Central Park. Sarah and I went at the very beginning of my summer in NYC. It was overcast…but that made for lovely pictures especially since almost no one was there (minus a little wedding that was happening). I love this little walk. Like the oh so famous Poet’s Walk, but much smaller and less populous. Anyway…I applied a few different actions to this (most from The Pioneer Woman) and I am loving them! The photo above is the original…and then you can see just how many different things you can do with a little Photoshop. (Some of the differences are super subtle…but don’t let that fool you!)

And here is my lovely friend, Julie…the beautiful bride, and her best friend, Natalie. The photo looked pretty good to begin with (that’s how it works when you have pretty friends), but I loved giving it a totally different feel with a little action application.

Now, I don’t necessarily love all of these actions for this particular photo (it’s kind of fun how certain styles just don’t work for certain events), but it is fun to see them all.
