texture tuesday

just finished the round trip class kim offers and i must say it's awesome. i highly recommend it.
i'm having so much fun now playing in lightroom.
all editing of this picture i did in lightroom. i finished it off with a final touch of texture in pse
kk_naturally soft light 43%

that look

is it just me... or does that look tell it all :)

beyond layers week 37 - inspiration

this weeks challenge was to find inspiration from the book cover 'Beautiful Disaster'
no photo inspiration came to mind so i started a layout in pse using the two textures kim
gave us.  kk_naturally (normal 100%) and kk_steelish (hardlight 80%)
from there i added the jar and than started using different shapes and brushes
moving, re-sizing and re-arranging them all.
i could have kept going and going, but finally decided to stop here...

dog - love

texture tuesday

something orange and kk_paperstained_music

beyond layers week 34 - sweet adjustments

great sweet adjustments video.  i used kim's download picture first and went followed the exact steps.
than decided to try it on one of my home-made grape shots with some tweaking to fit my image.
love, love, love this recipe.

beyond layers week 28 - type tricks

grass

seems i've been in a creative rut lately.  i haven't even picked up my camera for almost three weeks.
so to start again i went outside this morning and shot some pictures of the grass before the blades of the mower whipped them away...

i heart roses

from my garden - 'i heart roses' color storyboard

beyond layers week 26 - color storyboard

ok, i cheated a little bit... i started off doing a color storyboard - honest, but than got this
idea to place several different mug shots of max instead.  i have so many pictures of him
with different expression it was hard to narrow it down to just six.  the background shot
was sooc... glad now that i didn't toast it.

texture tuesday

on hot summer days ali's favorite fun is diving into the water after a ball (or rock or whatever)
i managed to get off a few shots by getting my camera focused on the spot i thought i could
throw the ball to.  not sure who was goofier looking - me or ali
anyway... here's a fun 'no' texture tuesday collage
