LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY
Uploaded: April 09, 2010
LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY ~Digital Darkroom~ The image touched me whilst editing thinking of past animals in our life. Cindy my Labrador has haunting eyes but by herself the shot I took this afternoon wasn't very interesting as I was concentrating on Auto Bracketing - she just 'happened' to be there. Aha I thought, Graham took a shot of a beautiful property several months ago, I could use it as a background.Then I composited the images,converted to Black an White in in Lightroom , used a layer mask to bring parts of the background back. Added a pinch of Niks Color Effects Midnight Sepia for a more wistful look! Will be away for the weekend and may not get an internet connection to comment much. Have a great Day. ~Pat and Graham

We really have to meet Cindy, Pat! Those eyes are pleading to say G'day, John!Graham Robards April 09, 2010
Thankyou John, I am bringing Cindy with us on Wednesday to meet you. She can come as she will be 'working'.I do love this creation and yes, it did help to have two good images to begin with as all it needed was to put one on top of each other.
I felt pretty chuffed. Margaret will love her I am sure! Such lovely eyes, reminds me of Teena in that respects, the same eyes which is why I got a bit misty eyed myself.
Best wishes my friend.
Of too Broke in a minute for the weekend!
