Spring comes to Maine by joansmor

Spring comes to Maine

Had to get a little fancy here and add the blur to the edge because that is how it felt. It had snowed and then turned to rain. Messy spring storm and at the end of the day the sun came out and when I got home you couldn't see the snow from this latest storm anywhere. More storms coming and hopefully they will all be spring storms. Spring storms come in dump there mess and within 24 hours it's like they never happened.
I am frustrated because my ps seems to have set itself to the smaller size pictures again. So I am assuming it resets to the default each time it turns off. Something to remember.

I like the b/w. Goes with the somber, depressive time of year lol!

I really must learn how to do some of this clever stuff - I've been paying for Photoshop CC for 5 months and haven't even tried it yet!

this is a very beautiful capture Joan I think the blur sets it off nicely

@vignouse Richard play !! its so much fun ;)

@silverhorn I'm heavily into Lightroom Rose, sp P/shop is the next logical step... but where will I find the time?

@vignouse I do most of my playing as "me time" everyone needs Me time

@atwinfay Actually not bw just lake of color showing up in the low light situation.

@vignouse If I can learn to do low-key you can learn to do this. I use photoshop elelements but still get a lot down. I brought the User's magazine to learn a lot of tricks and get more from my digitial scrapping. And still have only touched on probably 1/2 what it can do. Take a few minutes you'll be amazed.

@silverhorn Richard has been my mentor, maybe I have to mentor him in post processing. LOL thanks for the visit. I really like the results of adding this depth of field to the picture.

@joansmor @silverhorn You would be surprised at what you can do in Lightroom - it's taken me a while to master its secrets... but it's been worth it. I do need to up my game a bit though... but PS CC is a monster of a program and you know me well enough by now to realise that, if I start something, I won't drop it until I've got it sorted. And here I am at 01h45 commenting, with a 07h00 start and a long busy day in prospect!

@vignouse ROLF I know and you tackle the big boy toys too.

@joansmor I've finally gone to bed so I can't reply... soorrrrrry!

Really captured the feel of the spring melt here! Love the e fect. Thank you so much for all your lovely comments and visit Joan! So appreciated.

@vignouse I beat you so I didn't see that you didn't reply.

@eyesmile Thanks

Nice shot Joan. Glad spring is on its way for you.
March 22nd, 2014  
Was surprised that this wasn't converted to B&W - great capture - it conveys the mood well.

Hi Joan, love this shot, you have some really interesting and lovely photos in you album! I notice though that you really don't do many motion pictures so my challenge for you is to take a picture of your choice with motion incorporated in some way. I will leave that down to you, be as creative as you wish. Look forward to seeing the result.

@oopsadaisy I have been seeing these in the challenges and thinking I need to try one, so I happily accept your challenge.
