Day 114

Another one of my daughter's shoes. This time I placed it in one of my trees in my backyard.

Day 72

What a day ! There's 40 mph winds and I thought it was a good idea to go out. I saw at least 6 trees that fell and I didn't have my camera. I went home to get it to get a shot of one of the trees (pictured here as the main photo.)
I stopped to get some cool lights through my windshield of this town truck, which was taping off areas where trees and branches fell.
As I was photographing I heard a loud bang, looked from behind my camera to see my windshield completely smashed with glass scattered inside my car. I couldn't believe my eyes.. a branch just fell into my windshield. So why not go all the way and get out of the car and photograph the car with the branch that hit it.
Interesting little collage huh? I wonder what this photo of the day will cost me !

Day 48

I took this photo today at Sherwood Island. The shape of the tree is what attracted me to it, but the little bit of snow and blue clouds kinda bored me. I added a gradient then adjusted colors till I got something that looked sort of infrared, but more like a crazy painting. Something a little different, at least I got a photo of something outside for a change!

Day 21

I blurred the edges and added a vignette. I used a brush to make the red heart. I would have like to have blended it better but couldn't figure that out.
I did follow a tutorial to get the border ,but had to play around with it for a very long time till I got it right. It's a very easy tutorial but it didn't say you need to be working on a web size photo, I was trying to do it on large PSD file and the effect didn't show up. I did learn quite a bit though playing around with all the different filters and came up with something I was satisfied with.

Here's a link to the tutorial for the border
