Photo Editing: Organized Noise
Paula at Lost in Translation invited Tobias M. Schiel to host her Thursday’s Special challenge, the theme being organized noise. Please read his interesting and thought provoking post. I really like the term ‘organized noise’; it has such possibilities. What rang true for me was Tobias’ comment – ” . . . there is also the aspect of organizing noise into music – or visual ‘noise’ into pictures. Some … Continue reading Photo Editing: Organized Noise

Photo Editing Two Ways – House at Sandside Bay
Play time. I like this photo, for its composition and subject matter, but it’s a little too soft for my taste. So I played. First up, I worked on the detail, contrast and lighting. The HDR creates a haloing effect resulting in the grey sky but in this image I liked it and kept it – I think it goes well with the mood and … Continue reading Photo Editing Two Ways – House at Sandside Bay

Photo Editing: Personal touch
I have been experimenting with artistic effects on my photographs. I have used Fotosketcher in the past, often with enjoyable results, but now I want to make the images more my own and so have been exploring the tools of Sagelight, my preferred editing program. I’ve done a comparison of the original photo with a Fotosketcher version and then my own version produced with Sagelight. Having used … Continue reading Photo Editing: Personal touch

Photo editing: Photo file clean-up
So, I’m undertaking a major clean up of my photo files and I come across this – And I ask myself, do I really want to keep this? Well, I should just take a minute and look see … so I brought it up in Sagelight, clicked on just about anything and everything that looked like fun and arrived at this … rather Indiana Jones and … Continue reading Photo editing: Photo file clean-up

Photo Editing: Layering for dummies
Stacy over at Visual Venturing hosts the After Before challenge and we all love her for it. 🙂 Though I have looked at Photoshop layering a number of times I have never been able to get any joy; I’ve never been able to figure it out. HOWever, a fellow blogger pointed me towards Pixlr where even I have had some measure of success. I don’t know … Continue reading Photo Editing: Layering for dummies

Photo Editing: Day in the Park
I let the week slip away and left it too late to submit to Stacy’s After Before Friday but thought I would put one up anyway. This is my original image, taken at Echo Dale near Medicine Hat, Alberta.

One Four Challenge March Week 4
One Four Challenge Week 4 This is my photo for this month. Using Sagelight, I’m going to try to have this image tell a different story each week. For this week’s image, I aged the photo, used the posterize feature and applied a filter. Although this image is dark I don’t find it threatening as in week 1, probably because of the warm overtone to it. And … Continue reading One Four Challenge March Week 4
