I hope you aren't tired of this building. I caught it with the snow falling on Wednesday and you can even see that a flake got really close to my lens and blurred out. I probably should have removed it. But I was busy today and didn't get a picture. Did get my flu shot, had breakfast with a friend, helped two patience win at Bingo, did laundry, grocery shopping and played with this photo. Now I want to learn a little more about photographing without a flash in a historical home. Tomorrow promises to be fun.
@shepherdman Sorry but I can resist saying this as I was just looking at your picture - but no one had to flap their arms for me to get this picture. My bad.
It's the first time I've seen and I think it's a really interesting building! Great processing- the sepia fits the subject to a T. Did you use a tilt-shift effect on this- it looks like it's been shrunk somehow to me.
@kt8ird Kate I don't have the ability to stay with one thing for a week let alone for longer. I will keep working on my flash just not daily. I love snow pictures. I haven't given up on it I just have ADD when it comes to photography. I admire your ability to stay with it.
@sissyaj No tilt shift. I did a duplicate layer changed to a reddish color with the bottom bw. Did a blend mode on the red, then combined the layers. made a new layer which I blurred. But a mask on that and brought back the building 100 % and maybe 80% on the foreground. More of things I have learned with my scrapbooking.
wow....you had a vision, and you made it happen in editing. I am just now starting to learn how to use PS, and would have no idea how or why you did the things you did. I will get there though:)
@joansmor I may be a little stubborn and avoiding photoshop learning, which I desperately need to do. I am afraid of getting sucked in and coming out!! I love following your project. I started scrapbooking when I had Sydney but now the girls have hijacked all of my supplies and tools so I moved to photography! :) Sounds like you have a fun and busy day planned, enjoy!!
@kt8ird You should try digital scrapping which is what I do. You combine photography with scrapbooking all on the computer. You can buy kits with papers and elements and the neatest thing is you can reuse every sheet as many times as you like as long as you make a copy to use rather than using the original.
@joansmor That sounds much better then having paper and scissors everywhere! Sydney is playing up (with 7th graders) in basketball and starts tomorrow. There goes my free time, again! At least I had this week!!
Great capture Joan...
