Blog Collage

Here’s another composite using the software SHAPE COLLAGE. There is a free version but for $25, you can get the pro version which allows you to save the resulting collage in psd format retaining all the layers. Well worth it, in my opinion. In this creation, I used all the images in my 2010 blog folder which means the collage has over 375 layers! With auto select layer turned on, all I need to do was click on a few images and drag them out. CLICK HERE for an in-depth review and demonstration of this incredibly fun software.

Lemonade

Our digital group is currently participating in an at home photo editing challenge to repair this image or make something creative out of it. With the help of Photoshop’s Clone Stamp Tool, I copied rock texture from another image over the blown out areas and then used a fun technique called Out of Bounds and came up with the second image. Fun stuff!

Ranch History

Cattle Ranching is another fascinating part of our history here. Here’s a remnant from Browns Ranch. (Color image with added texture and color tinting to give an aged look.)

Tangled Web

I noticed this spider late yesterday and was mesmerized. He was repairing his web and I could hardly believe how fast he was doing it. I grabbed a quick handheld shot but didn’t have my ISO high enough so it wasn’t in focus. A little Pixel Bender Oil Paint made it good enough for photo of the day. I hope to get a better picture of him/her later.

Sleeping Camel Not

OK…I had a few comments which agree with Chris so here’s what I’m seeing. I guess his snout isn’t really long enough to be a camel but it could be a dinasaur camel. They probably looked different. OK…I’m stretching here 🙂

Sleeping Camel

Chris didn’t see it but to me it kind of looks like a Camel lying down with an ice pack on his head. (he’s facing to the right) A Camel with a hangover? Maybe? 🙂

Thoughts of Spring

Fun with Flaming Pear Flexify2. Let’s pray for a little rain and no freeze!

Santa and Cyclists

More of my favorite ornaments but this time I used a Flaming Pear filter called Flexify to enclose them in a glass ball. I added a glass loop on top of the ball, sprinkled some photoshop snow inside and finished with a bevel and drop shadow. Fun stuff 🙂
