Composite

I've seen this done by lost of Photoshop experts and thought I'd try my hand at it. I took two different photos and merged them together into one. Of course, I used Gimp, not Photoshop, but I think it came out rather well.

The photos I used were

Photo Facelift

On August 6, 2007, my friend Ruth got married to her sweetheart Anne. She received the pictures back from the professional photographer and while they were good photos, a lot of them were missing that something that made them great photos. Ruth recently asked me if I would give her wedding pictures a "photo facelift" as she called it. I rose to the challenge and have been editing various wedding photos over the past couple of weeks. These are some of the photos I have taken a hand to.

B & Unusual Perspective

Weekly Words Challenge 2009

I have been very uninspired the last few weeks and haven't gotten the camera out much. That being said, I really wanted to play this week for WWC. So I went into my archives and pulled out a couple of photos that fit the bill for this weeks words. Cheating? Maybe. So what! Rules were made to be broken, right?

Fence

We got a bit of snow this morning, so I thought I'd post this photo I took last winter. I love the rusty wire on the fence next to the white snow.

I'm not a dancer, but I've always loved ballet.
