TV 1/1000, AV 2.8 ISO High
OVERCAST DAY...NO BLUE SKIES! (HA!)

Laura E. Swan

 
  LOOK AT THAT SKY!
LOOK AT THAT SKY!

Often Times The Most Wonderful Places
Render White Skies Leaving The Photo
Less Than Stunning.

So This Image Seems Like a Toss-Out
??? RIGHT ???

!!! WRONG !!!

With Adobe PSE7 I was Able To Add A Sky
And Then With The Fractalius Filter
I Was Able To Add Wonderful Visual Effects!

THE END RESULT WAS MY PHOTO ENTRY
Remember: Never Throw Away! Recycle!

Thanks Jeff :) Nice of you to say so!

*

Lol, Ron. AND I WAS THINKING THE SAME ABOUT YOU! Ha! So glad we have all of these places in common now! :)))

*

Thanks Brett. I owe all of you visits! I bet you have been making cool things too!? :)

*

Hi Bird Man Gord! Thank you! So is yours! :)))

*

Hi Millieanne! This was so gratifying. Some projects aren't. Like tonights that I have been working on. I am about to scrap it...So glad you like the finished product here! :)

*

Hi Paddy! Good to see you. :) Thank you dear one!

*

Wish you were here Monnie. I'd show you. :)

*

Stan I am like an old dog with a good bone. I just keep chewing and it's fun to do! :)

*

Hi Renata! I love bold colors. :) Thanks for noticing!

*

Big smile here John! YES! IT SURE IS FUN! You are 100% RIGHT! I think EVERYONE should take a walk on the WILD FILTER SIDE and see what they can do! :)

*

Tammy, there are too many people at the Nevada Branch. Grab Brother Rolan and Sharky and the rest & come on up sometime. :)))(Bring the camera! HA!)

*

Why THANK YOU NN! -NL xo

*

Mr Tree. A smile is just a frown turned upside down...and a frown is just a smile not feeling worth while. P.S. calls me all the time. But late for dinner. So..Is that a good thing or a bad thing???

YOU DECIDE.

  Thanks Dick! Nice of you! :))

Hi Yulianto! Thank you!! Yes. It is very different now!!! :)

*

Hi SSSKiki! You know what? I held a DDR Class in my home last month for two friends of mine who were dieing to know how I did "This" or "That" (Because they had been to my gallery right?) and once I showed them a few "TRICKS of my TRADE" it was like revealing a magic trick to your audience...they said stuff like "Oh. Is THAT ALL YOU DID?" Ha! It was humbling. Still glad I showed them. :))) Thank you sweetie!

*

Hi Nancy. You are so kind. Thanks so much! I liked the original too...but that poor sky! P.S. can sure do amazing things!

*

Hi Randy! Thanks very much!

THANK ALL OF YOU! Sorry I am late getting here. Been a very busy week!
