Odd Shots - Shell creature

What kind of odd duck is this? Just a creative "objet d'art" made with sea shells.

PhotoShop - This one for Imac

I did mess around with glowing edges, but did not like the effect (above). The one below applies cutout, then glowing edges.  

Photoshop - Sun cross enhanced

II took this shot of the early morning sun through a red stripe of our flag. I decided to play around with PhotoShop and see what images might result. First I played around with the Filter -> Distort -> Twirl to get the second image.

Then I applied the Filter -> Artistic -> Cutout  to the original image.

And finally, I added Neon glow to the cutout image. 

Weekend Reflections - Two for one image

I got two reflections with one snap of the shutter using a store front window.

Odd shots - Key to the game

I took a few shots of a small park in nearby Thurmont while waiting for our carryout dinner to be ready. Several tables were ready for having lunch or playing a game. It became an "odd" shot when I notice the key while reviewing my images at home.

PhotoShop - Adjusting color

Every now and then I like to play around with the features of PhotoShop Elements. I took the above image about two weeks ago, cropped it and posted in on Lew's Favorites blog.

Then I played around with the Adjust Color effect. The image below has the red hue set to minus 110.

Then I ran the red hue to the other end of the spectrum (plus 80). Each effect started with a fresh copy of the cropped image. Changing the green and blue hue had little effect on this particular image.

And finally I applied the glowing edges effect, one of my favorites.

Reflections - Fall colors

In the middle of this hot summer, I look forward to fall reflections like this one from Novmber 2008.
