Our challenge for last Thursday, which I’ve been fiddling with for several days, was to create an image based on a word or thought. Well…. I broke the rules a bit. I took the photo first, then added a word at the end. This is the original photo taken on top of a very old whiskey barrel found in our mill – it now sits on the back porch.
I wanted to practice a little photo editing in an attempt to soften and blur. I used my regular lens (a 50mm is on the way) and played with the Blur filters in CS5. I then added two of Kim’s layers – I followed Kim’s video tutorial (love those!) and this is the end result…..
I may try this again with a lighter background – we don’t have anything close to a white room in our home – but I’ve thought of a spot that might just work – until next time…
