Just a little sumpthin I was playing with tonight

First, I cooked this little beauty with Rebecca Lily’s ‘Beach Vintage’ preset

Then I added a dash of Flypaper Textures:

‘Apple Blush’ – Vivid Light @ 24%, masked away from the main bloom
Antique Liasons – Normal @ 6%, masked away from the main bloom
Antique Liasons – Color Burn @ 14% masked away again

As promised, I’m showing you the before shot of this image. People have asked to see it and I have finally caved in.

I’m Feeling Generous

I’ve had many ask to see the ‘before’ from this photo and I’ve never showed it to a single soul. Not even my husband! I’ve sworn up and down that the heart was real (although I have admitted to rounding it out in PS) and no one believes me. But tomorrow at noon, I’ll post it for you all to see for yourself.

Giving Flowers a Soul

I’m really not sure how she does it, but Shana Rae (who you will remember from my ‘Photographers I admire‘ post) can give flowers a personality like none I’ve never seen. When I view her floral images, I don’t get the feeling that I’m an all powerful human being looking down on a lowly little flower – it should be so lucky that I would even take a second to look at it! Rather, I feel like the flower is looking at me, giving me the time of day as equals. I feel like I am looking a flower in the eye. I actually get quite frustrated that I haven’t been able to capture florals in this way and spend a lot of time looking at Shana’s images trying to picture how she actually shot them and what they are saying. Here are a few of my favourites and a couple of my own.

I went to meet a new client last night and brought my camera. I have learned from experience that when you drive towards Wickham, BRING YOUR CAMERA! The countryside out there is stunning. It had been a day with beautiful cumulus clouds and as the sun set, it suddely turned like fire in the sky. I pulled over and began shooting in a wheat field (or some kind of wheaty plants!) and the end result is, I think, spectacular. The most amazing thing was that as the clouds came together, they actually formed an opening the shape of a heart. I just click-click-clicked my shutter till the sun went down. Enjoy!
