I had been working with my camera using the manual mode just to see what I could get. Being cold and rather gloomy the options for subjects are slim.
I took a picture of these leaves laying on my back deck. This is the picture straight off the camera.
This is after making some adjustments and adding some textures.
But if you know me, when I get started on things like this I just keep going. I thought I would try and soften some of it up a bit but maybe make the leaves stand out a little more.
I don't know if I accomplished what I was looking for but I did manage to kill an hour or so playing.
You did get some great effects. I love experimenting with pictures.
ReplyDeleteI used to spend a lot of time doing stuff like this and then got away from it. It is fun
DeleteI really like the textured one, but the last one, showing more depth of the leaves is favored!!
ReplyDeleteThanks. That was my thoughts on these too
DeleteWow, great playing around with your effects.
ReplyDeleteI like the last one best... you already know how much I love 'playing' just like you do...play on, I will to
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun - you've created some interesting effects - I like the au naturel one. ^^
ReplyDeleteI used to spend so much time doing things like these. I do enjoy it. Wade always

DeleteHow beautiful, Ann.... and it's good to see you "playing" once again. Love, Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks. The playing only seems to come in spurts but I guess a spurt is better than nothing
DeleteAnd you had a great time playing around too. I love seeing your work. You're most crafty.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Ann. Big hug to you and lotsa lovies to Gibbs. ♥♥♥
Yes, I did have a great time
DeleteEach picture gets better! You did this all in your camera? It must really be something else!
ReplyDeleteOnly the original was from my camera, the editing I did in Photoshop elements.
DeleteWow - super cool! Annster's Domain
ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteGood for you! I love to think of you playing -- it's so important to our well being.
ReplyDeleteYes, play time is essential. Since I have no one else to consider when I get home I can play as much as I want to
DeleteGood results from your playing Ann. We like the third one the best. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I liked the third one best too
DeleteThe editing is awesome. What a difference it makes.
ReplyDeleteI love playing around with pictures! I'm not as good as you at it but it's fun. I love the last one too.
ReplyDeleteGood or bad, makes no difference. It's whether or not you enjoy doing it. That's my philosophy any way
