sisterly guitaring

I didn't actually plan this (I saw her playing guitar on the couch and thought it would make a reasonable photo), but this is my sister, who just recently got herself a 365 account! (I was planning to announce that anyway, but now I have an appropriate photo to accompany it. :D)

Check her out :) http://365project.org/csimonetti/365

It's been a bit stressful for me lately... I have become the queen of the art of procrastination... exams are Tuesday and Wednesday and aaaargh I just don't wanna xD

Also, thank you all so much for taking the time to stop by and comment/fav my photos :) it's always appreciated (even if I never do the mass thank yous!) :)
great shot! and welcome!

I love the POV! I can almost hear her play! Now I'm going to go check out your sisters pics!
July 9th, 2012  
Beautiful. I love the POV. The way you process your photos inspires me.

I've tried similar things & it never quite works. Someday when you're not as busy, would you instruct us with some of the ways you choose to process or list some books that might help?

@elizabeth264 @carrapeta00 @herussell

I tend to process my images in mostly the same way, yes :) I do it manually in Photoshop. It involves adding a few Fill layers - a flesh-coloured layer set on Multiply (to darken the white areas) and a very dark navy blue layer set on Screen (to lighten the darks). And sometimes I adjust the colour balance of the base photo so it's of a more blueish hue. I think that's basically it :)

These aren't hard and fast rules of course - often I tweak it depending on the image and/or the feel I'm going for and/or my mood that day. :D
