You Are My Sunshine
I got the idea for this montage after playing with Wordle earlier this week. (If you’ve never tried Wordle, CLICK HERE go to the website). I first searched online for the lyrics to the song “You Are My Sunshine” and then pasted them into Wordle. I combined the resulting word cloud with a flower, a ladybug and 3 images of textures. Lots of blending and assorted adjustments and here you go! I would have preferred a nice script but I never look a gift Wordle in the mouth 🙂

Tree and Marcus Landslide
This composite contains 6 images with one dating back 10 years. The base is a DroidX black and white shot of a dead tree captured last week in front of the Marcus Landslide. I then added the following images: a Flagstone tile from my patio, a field of dried flowers, a field of grasses, a rusty car door and a silhouette of a raven. (The other bird is a PS brush). Lots of blending, several color and tonal adjustments, a couple of filters applied and voila! You either love or hate this stuff. I obviously love it 🙂

Retro Sunflowers and Mailboxes
STOP! Back up! That’s what I yelled at Chris when I saw these mailboxes. I could have spent all morning shooting this scene but there were 3 very unfriendly dogs who became aggressive every time I got out of the car so my visions of multiple angle views didn’t happen. I need to work on becoming braver 🙂
I added a cloud image and 3 images of texture then blended the heck out them all to create the look of an old photo.

Sunflowers
Another shot of Flagstaff’s Sunflowers. A calm morning made it easier to get a sun star.

Flagstaff Sunflowers
If you missed getting to Flagstaff this past month, you missed the best show of Sunflowers in at least 10 years, they say. Here’s an HDR shot of one field early in the morning. I was lucky to have almost no wind.

Favorite Things
A composite of two of my favorite things. Boulder faces (left) and trees. The tree is a DroidX image I captured the other day on my walk in my neighborhood and the wonderful boulder face is near the Preserve.
