Adjusting Contrast & Desaturation

What a huge difference even a couple of quick changes can make...

From the original...

To a classy image

And all I did was adjust the contrast & desaturate the image. (That's Photoshop terminology for turning a picture into black and white)

Granted, this picture still isn't fantastic... But because of sentimental reasons, I wanted to try to salvage something out of it. The key to good photography is to get a great shot to begin with. Learning your camera, its capabilities, and even its limitations are very important to taking pictures. If you have an SLR... learn how to use it in MANUAL! I'm preaching to the choir here, as I'm still learning to do so myself...

I wish you all the best of luck - I'm learning right along with you!
