A dream boat – an ode to the sun. According to the artist it’s not a representation of a Viking boat. Hmm. The original photo was dark. I did a lot of adjustments including increasing the contrast and clarity, adjusting the tint, and brightening the shadows. I also turned it black and white. Here’s theContinue reading “Solfar in Reykjavik”

Mini-me
Learning to spread wings, Young and old at the same time. Growing to herself. We had fun with the camera today. Something that I hope we get to do more of (I need the practice). The original was just a tad off-center so I cropped to straighten. I used the clone/heal tool to take careContinue reading “Mini-me”

I increased the clarity and decreased the contrast on the whole photo along with lightening the blacks a touch. I then created adjustment brushes for the checkered floor andContinue reading “Cape Hatteras Spiral”
A Spider’s Pearls
Each dew drop, a reflection. I didn’t realize it until doing this edit, that the black dot in each dew drop is me! (Right?!) I love the original photo, but didn’t want to just sharpen the picture and increase the vibrancy (which is the way I was initially headed). I wanted to take it inContinue reading “A Spider’s Pearls”
White Sands
The dunes here are other worldly. In the midst of the high desert lie dunes made of what looks like beach sand. It’s gypsum. And this is the largest gypsum dune field in the world. (Thank you, NPS) I like the whiteness of the original photo but I wanted to add some dimension. I endedContinue reading “White Sands”
