You are clever and I need a suggestion - my get pushed challenge is a photo based on my favorite book. My favorite book is a Cival War Novel House Divided. Any ideas - i may have to resort to Arundel which is based near here
So there's another person who gets emotional like me when they hear bagpipes and I do not have any Scottish ancestry. Beautiful shot here with lovely colours. I like that light sparkle.
Thank you Lisa, Babs, Mandy, Dione, Katy, Marilyn, Naomi and Ferry!
@joansmor Thanks Joan! Well, here's an idea for what it's worth. I zeroed in on the idea of a divided house and thought of a picture of a home, older in style- Colonial or Victorian but could really be any era- taken straight on and processed to look vintage or old. I would get a second picture of something- maybe a landscape or a road- something straight (really clever might be looking down a ruler eye level) and process that in a similar fashion so that it doesn't look drastically different from the house picture. I would then take the house picture and overlay the second picture in the center, erasing half of the house to show through (in my program I can move the pictures around or enlarge or shrink them so that they "fit"- I'm pretty sure you can do that too with the program you use). Then I would overlay the house picture on that for the other half of the house. Does that make any sense? The basic idea is to divide the house in half with another picture the clearly defines the division. A variation would be to make the house picture look like someone tore it in half. That will be a fun one for you to play with. I just thought of another more along the Civil War lines- a door of an old house with a window on each side- one having a ghostly Confederate soldier in it and the other a Union soldier which you could grab off the internet I'm sure. Anyway- I hope those are enough to give your creative juices a push!
@golftragic LOL Marnie- thank you but sometimes it's just a matter of pragmatism- how was I going to do "odd" when I couldn't go out in search of something "odd"?!
@olivetreeann Ah you answered on Friday and I was sick. Don't think I looked at everything that day and was busy Sat and didn't go back. Just skimmed through the day. Thanks
