This week, I’ve asked Misty, who blogs over at Through A Photographer’s Eyes to share a lesson with us. Her tutorial will post at my regularly scheduled time…but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to share my own edits for this week.

So, typically I’m only able to capture my favorite road scenes on Saturday as we’re driving to church (I guess it’s not the only time, but it’s often the time of day I’m thinking about it). Anyways, last weekend while I was capturing some beautiful sky shots for Shoot and Edit/Good to Wow (I know, I should know what my own meme is called, right?), a plane flew right...
