Playing with her textures is a lot of fun. They can be subtle, like in the photo above, or more dramatic if you wish. You are the one in charge and it’s whatever pleases you.

I have put together my wintry bouquet sans flowers. No flowers is a little sad. I think I need to bring some home from my next run to the grocery store. Even here in FL things are looking a bit brown and gloomy.

Anita..I like the little bit of blue color coming in from the glass jars. It's not so brown and bleak as our view outside is.
ReplyDeleteHi Anita-
ReplyDeleteI am doing the same as you. Lots of learning, which I am loving. Kim Klaussen's tutorials are great. I still haven't played with any textures, but I love what they do. I like your dramatic shot. Did you use one of her textures? Have you figured out how to download Photoshop actions yet? I would like to, but the steps involved seem too complicated and I have been hesitant to try.
My best- Diane
Love the pinecones, Anita! Sounds like you are having a blast with your camera! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteAnita~ it is beautiful!!

Looks like you are having so much fun with your camera. I'm so jealous. My second camera hasn't came yet, but it will be here this week...yay! :)
ReplyDeleteWhere are you in Florida? My parents are there right now, they rented a condo for two months.
Photoshop, eh....I gotta get one of those programs that allows me to draw arrows and such on my pictures so I can further humiliate my family members by drawing mustaches and buck teeth when I put up photos of them.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, Anita! It looks like you're having fun playing around with it. I love your pine cone bouquet.
ReplyDeleteI love photoshop. I use actions because I am to lazy to learn how to do it myself. I guess I should break down and buy a tripod too. My photos are a little blurry at time.
ReplyDeleteI need to learn photoshop so I can take away all my wrinkles and perhaps slim down my curves.
ReplyDeleteYour winter bouquet is lovely. I love the blueness of the jars.
Great shots. I am going to have to check out those textures thing. Have fun playing.
ReplyDeleteTeach us, ok? I have this wonderful camera and I don't have a clue how to use it. It's like, what do I have time to focus on??? I have to decide. Still re-vamping the house after the holidays. I really dig that last photo!
ReplyDeleteSo it's gloomy down by you? We're headed there in the next few weeks!
I love stopping by here to see what you've got going on!

ReplyDeleteThe bouquet is very pretty, love pine cones and the different textures!
You and Tracy really have me itching to get photoshop and start learning!!!
I would love to start taking better photos. That should be put on my learn to do list.
ReplyDeleteSo.Fun. It's fun to see what you are learning!

You are doing fabulous!! I love the bouquets!
ReplyDeleteWow! You're a quick learner~your pictures look great!
ReplyDeleteNo matter how fancy your camera, I think a tripod is the way to go almost anytime. Especially for indoor photography. That said I am usually too lazy to drag it out, or don't like the angles I get with the tripod, so I often make do without :-)
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your photography course. And I totally dig your pinecone flowers.
Hi Anita, I can't wait to see all of the fun things you can do with your new camera. The 2nd to pics make your basket look like a crown :). Blessings, Kim
ReplyDeletePhotos look great Anita! Love the pinecone bouquet!! :)
