El Querandí
I love watching people dance the Tango and so, when in Buenos Aires, we took in a show about the history of the dance. It was in El Querandí, a fairly small club in the San Telmo district, older, lovely wood paneling … this image captures the essence of that evening.

ABFriday: Changing the Mood
This was an experiment in changing the atmosphere of an image. To create the low lying mist I inverted the image and then using the undo brush on varying levels of hardness and pressure I reverted it back to the original. I think my technique needs more practice but I found the results interesting. Done in Sagelight. Hosted by Stacy at Visual Venturing Original … Continue reading ABFriday: Changing the Mood
Black and White: Form and Contrast

Photo Editing: One Photo Focus: The Porch
Stacy’s provides the photo and we give our interpretation. This is the original photo -obviously centre stage goes to the tree and vines but I found the chairs on the porch interesting – I love porches. So I cropped it down to some interesting lines –And I took it into Paint and made some changes – And then in Sagelight I aged it and added a median … Continue reading Photo Editing: One Photo Focus: The Porch
