My name is Anna and I'm 21 years old. I'm a Christian and God has given my heart to China and the little ones that live in orphanages across the country, but I've fallen in love with a particular one in a particular city. I'm returning there again this November and I don't want to just tell you their story, but I want to show it to you too, and I'm trying to gain experience in that.

Anna PappasParticipant@timtam my ankle had been acting up and I ended up having surgery on it again a month ago! I’m coming to the next one though. I would LOVE to take a look if you have the time!!
Anna PappasParticipantThanks y’all for the comments! I totally understand what you mean about the blurring. For some reason, the pictures look different on my computer than other devices. I was viewing it on my phone recently and realized this. But I was editing photos the other day and I think I’ve found a way to combat that. I had intended for the blurring to not be so strong and having a smoother transition from the focal point.
@jamesstaddon I’ve been reading all your blogs! And realizing how limited my camera is haha some of the things I’ve been able to apply though and it’s been really helpful. Ahhh wow, I couldn’t imagine showing my photos one-on-one like that!Preparation is going well for China! The only thing left is money. I’m 1/3 of the way there! Another team went to the orphanage a couple weeks ago and I got to see updated pictures of all my kiddos. Makes me so excited!! Thanks for asking. After coming back from China last year and speaking with everyone about it, I realized I could do so much more with pictures! According to the last team who went, they’ve really opened up with photography since I was there. There are now pictures in rooms we weren’t even allowed in last time and a ton of pictures of kids they had deemed “unadoptable” and not worth the time to be photographed. Seeing these new pictures was the first time I got to see how God is changing the worker’s hearts at the orphanage. It may seem like little things, but I know they’ll add up to something big! I’ve never heard of MissionTalk! That’s SO cool! And I will definitely try that technique out on blurring.
I’m going to try it again and make the changes you guys suggested!
Thanks for all the help!!
Anna PappasParticipantI don’t know much about what Lightroom is (but I’m going to look it up because y’all talk about it a lot), but these pictures are very beautiful! And they’re actually three different pictures blended together? I didn’t know they could go together so flawlessly like that. By the way, it’s Anna from tgd! It’s very cool to see you on this site. Hope to see you Saturday night! 🙂
