Tuesday Things

So I unfortunately failed at the Sunday Scavenger Hunt and the Monday blog hops as well as Macro Monday. I have been pretty good at keeping up with these but the last couple of days I have been so tired. I have no idea why but I can barely keep my eyes open. I have been spending a lot of time resting. What I can with having an 18mth old that has been really really cranky. 

This Tuesday I decided to do Texture Tuesday, Barn Charm and Tones on Tuesday all one image. Here it is. 

I converted this image to black and white then adjusted the hue and saturation to come up with an antique look, after that I applied Kim Klassen's (way texture) used the overlay and left the opacity at 100% and took a soft airbrush over the barn image at 40%. I wanted the old timey feel to the image and I believe I captured that. 

Here is the original

Sweet Baby Logan

This is a photo I had taken a few months back to experiment with. He was in the bath tub. I had seen someone else take a picture and I asked her for advice on how she did it and created it. I followed her advice and came out with this. 

Not quit perfect, after-all it was my first try. So for this weeks Texture Tuesday over at Kim Klassen's Cafe, which you can check out HERE I just knew this picture would be perfect with a texture. 

I used Kim's texture Grey Day

and the image above, I used Photo Shope Elements 10 and used the Multiply with opacity set at 72% then I used a soft round airbrush at 40% opacity to go over the image of Logan himself and this is what I came out with

Still not perfect considering that little imperfection on the side of the head? I still like it though. Maybe no one will notice lol

We had a much needed cool down around here but of course the heat will go right back up in a day or two. The husband and I decided to take a small drive looking for some photographic opportunities. We got some pretty good shots but those will have to wait for another post. Today I am linking up with a few photo link ups which I will list below but here I am gonna throw this out there. 

Textures are becoming addictive. I wish I could tell you what one I used. I know it is a bokeh one and I used the overlay but I did some other stuff to it that I honestly can not remember because I did go through a ton of processes. This is only my fourth photo I have created. (I think)...Maybe fifth or sixth :-) 

But the point is I am enjoying learning and the creativity. 

Texture Tuesday

I am starting to get addicted to adding textures to pictures thanks to Kim Klassen and her Texture Tuesday Photo Challenge. I will admit it is fun and sometimes frustrating but you can end up with some great pictures. This week we were to take it outdoors and use one of her textures. I used her sunkissed texture and I did add a little quote. 

Photo Creation and Monday Blog Hops

While the husband is gone to work I get to spend some time creating. Now that I have discovered textures I have been playing around with them and some pretty otherwise boring photos. Last week I decided to do something with a scarecrow picture I had taken while visiting my mother. This little scarecrow sits on her fence post in one of her flower gardens. My mother is a huge fan of The Wizard of Oz as well as I am. So this is what I came up with

I am thinking about a print, 5x7 framed for some sort of gift for my mom. Now that my husband is back at work for a couple more nights I will see what else I can come up with.
