A light touch by maggiemae

A light touch

Back to routine - television, rugby and porridge in the morning! However routine is very important.
After my book launch I fronted up at the dentist and the receptionist said, “I hear you are a very famous person”! Goodness Gracious! How audacious - but very flattering.

Three good things:
1. The top of a tree in our garden with new blossom was processed (by photography) and became what I thought was a Japanese silk screen!
2. Have two crayfish in the freezer as a gift and anticipating a great treat when I force myself to buy cream!
3. A caring husband.
You're right, it does have a Japanese feel to it. Very pretty and delicate.

That is the first thing I thought of before you mentioned it. Well done MM !
September 1st, 2016  
I meant it looks like a silk screen. Good to hear you are already famous in your community too!

@grammyn Thanks Katy! That will teach some nasty people in my memories of some in Oamaru! Won't go on about that though! I got this setting from the Nik collection!
September 1st, 2016  
@maggiemae oh well done! Which one is it?
September 1st, 2016  
@grammyn Colour Efex pro 4, Katy
September 1st, 2016  
Yes very Japanese and artfully done. fav.
September 1st, 2016  
nice processing.
September 1st, 2016  
@maggiemae did you use a preset or make up your own?
September 2nd, 2016  
@grammyn Not sure what you mean, Katy. I just took the photo then opened it from within Nik - Colour Efex...
September 2nd, 2016  
When I open a picture in colorefex there are a bunch of choices on the left that I can apply to the photo. Those are presets that make the photo appear in a predetermined way. On the right are options to tweak and make it my own edit. I was just wondering which way you did this one
September 2nd, 2016  
@grammyn Yes thats right - just chose one of those presets! Sometimes I tweak and sometimes not!
September 2nd, 2016  
Lovely soft image, great processing.
September 2nd, 2016  
@maggiemae now I want to know which preset you used
September 2nd, 2016  
Very artsy look, I have the nik collection but haven't played around with it yet!
September 2nd, 2016  
@grammyn Its "Film Efex Faded". I suppose it changes depending on the original colours but it was nice in this one!
September 2nd, 2016  
@radiogirl Oh, you have to do it - you will be entranced!
