The point of Fauxto Friday was a way for me to showcase the ways I use Photoshop to edit and retouch photos in order to remove objects, swap out backgrounds, restore damaged prints or, in the case of the featured photo of this post, create something arty and new.

Another Friday, another beautiful bird fauxto! I’ve spoken before of the magical backyard I’m fortunate to have. I rarely have to travel outside its boundaries to find spectacular displays of flora and fauna. While I spent last year with my lens focused on flowers and insects, this spring I’m all about the birds.

I don’t limit my creativity to just photography. I also work with video as well. My Nikon D3300 captures video in full HD 1080 60fps resolution, and the quality is spectacular. The problems I run into with video are the same that I have with photos-lighting and tone. I turn to Wondershare’s Filmora for video editing.

Thanks to the new placement of the bird feeder this year, I’ve had the opportunity to witness a lot of beautiful birds come and go. Even though they can see me through the glass door, they don’t seem to mind my camera lens. The closer they’ll come to the glass, giving me the chance to snap some very detailed pictures.

I LOVE to photograph the moon! It has always been one of my favorite subjects. I’ve been fascinated by this beautiful orb for as long as I can remember, especially when it’s full…it is extremely photogenic, and my favorite angle is just as the moon rises and makes its appearance on the horizon.
