Hey everyone!
It’s been a frustrating day for me – I’ve realized that the hard drive on my desktop literally has about 3 GB of free space left on it… and so, it’s completely slow. And annoying. And now I’m going to have to purchase a bigger hard drive sooner than expected. Sigh.
After waiting all day to get my three pictures edited… I have finally given up on my desktop and moved to my laptop.
So, here’s my edits for this week.
I decided to go with Nelly Nero’s Autumn Vintage for these shots – I like the cool, fall feel it gives them.
Mouse over to see the originals.
Leaves. For this one, I ran AV, then I actually added the original file back on as a layer, and reduced opacity. I wanted to keep some of the colour of the leaves.

And apples. I did the same trick with the original picture as a layer. This isn’t my favourite picture – I could have been more creative – but it is what it is.

And finally, the praying mantis. I used the action Vanilla Pop on this, and took out the fly. I’m also linking up this Praying Mantis picture with show {off} your shot. (And was I ever thrilled that my picture from last week was chosen as one of Rachel’s favourites! )

So there’s my fall edits!

Fantastic edits! I love that preying mantis!
ReplyDeleteI love the warmer tones of your edits. And I think the apple one is awesome.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Praying Mantis is so cool. Reminds me of Darren.
I love the apples edit, really makes me think of fall
ReplyDeleteI love your first edit - it really did bring out all those beautiful autumn tones. I love it!

really nice ~ I like the selective focus and the softness your processing added.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I love the changes to the praying mantis! The shot looks much better warmed up and cropped like that!
