Mandarin Orange Monday: 89

Yesterday I spent some time on the computer just playing around with my blog – as you can see I have updated it hopefully to make my photos stand out a bit more.

Plus I set up a website to sell my photos as prints, greeting cards and cell phone covers which can be found here

Anyway I spent some time playing around with Photoshop filters for this challenge.

So this is the first photo

I added the fresco filter

Then the water paper filter

Then the accented edges filter

Finally the orange gradient map filter

Then here is the second photo.

First I used the poster edges

Then a diffuse glow

Then the water paper

Then I solorized it.

Finally the orange gradient map

I played around with this image quite a bit, actually I really didn’t know what I did but managed to get several layers together on this.

When I merged them together I played around a lot  with a few layers.

The top left I used several layers to give a three dimensional feel or a feel of movement.

It was fun to see what I could do.

Cee’s Oddball Challenge Week 7

Good morning from a cooler Hastings.

I love this challenge by Cee and was this week honoured to be featured in her round up.

So this week I have chosen the two oldest students in the world.  This was a great couple I met at the vintage car parade for the Art Deco festival in February.  They were great with a wonderful sense of humour and spent the whole time posing.

Here you can check out Cee’s blog for more information.
