Tag Challenge "Outdoor" and "Collage" by marlboromaam

Tag Challenge "Outdoor" and "Collage"

Monday morning about 7:30 AM and 20 degrees outside... I don't normally do the tag challenges. LOL! I'm not that good! And, I don't like my collages but, I gave it a go! Got a little sunrise bokeh first and the shots progressed to sun-kissed tree tops, a cardinal singing way up in the bare branches with finally, folks heading up and down the road to work!
This is so nice! Really gives me a feel of where you are in the world, looks like a beautiful place :)

@amers79 Thank you, Amy!
January 3rd, 2012  
marlboro, you say you don't like your collages...why not? ...when you can do them as good as this...super choice of complimentary images :)....what editing software did you use for the collage ?
January 3rd, 2012  
Wow! This is fantastic!! What a beautiful collection!! Excellent entry!
January 3rd, 2012  
@phil_howcroft Phil, thank you! You are too kind! My word, others do so much better with collages than I do! I used Adobe's InDesign to layout my collage than exported it as a jpg file, then resaved it in Photoshop for upload.
January 3rd, 2012  
@marlboromaam thanks marlboro, I've only got PSE , I'm sure there must be a feature in PSE to do a collage for me
January 3rd, 2012  
@heidievans73 Aww! Thank you, Heidi! I tried!
January 3rd, 2012  
@phil_howcroft Not sure was PSE is or I'd try to help!
January 3rd, 2012  
@marlboromaam Marlboro too many TLA (three letter abbreviations) ...ppl on here use PSE to describe Photo Shop Elements (a cut down with less functionality version of Photoshop)
January 3rd, 2012  
@phil_howcroft Ahh! Gotcha! Do you know how to create layer files? That's the way you'd create your collage. Start with a right-sized black background or whatever color you want, add a layer and place a photo, then add another layer and place photo and repeat until your finished. I would think that you could create layers in PSE. I'll have to check on that when I get a moment!
January 3rd, 2012  
@marlboromaam ooooh marlboro what a clever method of creating a collage :)
January 3rd, 2012  
January 3rd, 2012  
You really did a fabulous job on this collage! I enlarged the photo which was very helpful in seeing more details of the various pic's! Excellent job!
January 3rd, 2012  
@myhrhelper Thank you so much, Kathy! Yep, does help to click on that magnifying glass sometimes. =)
January 3rd, 2012

January 4th, 2012  
@buggus You have a great eye, Oleta! I didn't think anyone would see the sun hitting the trees on the road as small as I made that pic but, you did! Thank you for your lovely comments and the view! =)

Collages are great! They're like little chapters in a story. Your shots are lovely! I think my favorites are the one with the cardinal and the one with the sunlight coming through. Beautiful.

@meisen325 Thank you, Monica! Would not have done a collage at all if I hadn't drawn that as part of the Tag Challenge 21. Don't like my collages. LOL! But I'll be anxious to see yours!
January 4th, 2012  
Good job. Lovely scenery.
January 5th, 2012  
@chaostheater Steven, thank you! Appreciate your comments!
January 5th, 2012  
So beautiful! How do you make a collage of photos like this?? I've always wanted to make one, but never been sure how to! :)
January 7th, 2012  
@kericherry Thank you very much, Keri! I used Adobe InDesign to import the photos and do the layout of them, then exported the file as a jpeg, resaved in Photoshop for upload here. I believe you can do the same thing in MS Publisher. You can do it in Photoshop using the "layers" function, too. I'm sure there are other layout apps out there that are less expensive or even free maybe. Do you have Photoshop?
January 7th, 2012  
@marlboromaam Unfortunately I don't :( but might try using publisher. Do you know of any layout apps on the internet? :)
January 7th, 2012  
@kericherry No I don't, but just google "page layout apps" or something similar. I'm sure they're out there. How free they are, I'm not sure.
January 7th, 2012  
@marlboromaam okay will do! Thanks for your help! :)
January 8th, 2012  
@kericherry You're welcome but, I really wasn't much help. Was going to be if you had Photoshop though!
January 8th, 2012  
oh this is a fantastic collage....! love the country feel to it!
January 8th, 2012  
@wadey Thank you so much! Appreciate your comments!
January 8th, 2012  
@marlboromaam Oooh I just found out we have Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 at school... Would you mind telling me how to make an amazing collage like yours? :)
January 9th, 2012  
@kericherry 1. Learn the layers function first and then give me a holler!
