MistClarity on these roads in the Azores

During my photowalk I shot a few good photos, not many but a few. This was one!

Also an incredible change when the darkroom had it’s say.

Hi,

So some months have gone by and I am swamped at work, to the degree I really do not have much time to work with photos at home.

But as you all know, all work and no play makes Jack a very dull boy!

I can not really say I am really satisfied with the picture as a whole. The logo/font/type however I think is a cool thing and for that I used repoussé.

Oliver went all mellow on me when he saw that I had done a picture of Casper earlier. So he went “Where is my picture? *sad eyes*”.

Unfortunately I did not really like the outcome, but the tutorial was ok so I learned something new.!

Casper had a moment of happiness. So I used this shot to follow a tutorial on the net called “Color Effects with the Alpha channel“.

I think the end result is ok but could have put some more time into it. If you are looking for free floral brushes for photoshop you can visit the following site: Ultimate collection of free adobe photoshop floral brushes.

And due to the pattern and colors used even jpg files got ridiculously large with quality 75 (which is the usual Quality I have here), so I had to make the pictures smaller. The hires version I usually put up is 1,5MB, but Lightroom could not even export it to that size.

So I looked through FB and saw NAPP’s shout out about putting up example work from the latest number of Photoshop User. Within an hour or two I came up with the image above.

I think the first half went to find appropriate textures I then came up with this. But a poster size would give it a better look , check next post soon (the time… I need more time).

I think that this image can be good to be used as a background for a thank you card or something where you could write to the right of the hyacinth. The original picture was not really that good or special.

No photoshop though, only lightroom filters are used!

GAH. Playful wednesday is not that playful, but at least I do something else than work, play with my kids and sleep Oh well. Trying to do something!

Not that awesome, but having been stressed a lot the past week I just needed to do SOMETHING and this went pretty fast.
The original picture looked strange though, so it feels like I have done more to the picture than I actually have.

The picture were taken last weekend when we were out taking a stroll in a national park/nature reserve down south called “Stenshuvud”, very nice spring walk with a lot of nice nature. more pictures coming later.

I start to get better at the Wacom board, but my work as an executive IT guy have been taking up this weeks time.

However I finished this post sunday and I though it was very good. This will be the last Playful (the band) poster for a while.

I know this can be a bit repetetive, but still working out my new Wacom board I got 2 days ago when I got.

So going through some different tuts and trying to get a feel for this new way of designing and retouching.
