Photo within a Photo

Family

Me, capturing my daughter taking a photo of her grandmother and brother. All photos are being taken with my Droid, as I mentioned before. I am also playing around with different processing adjustments. For this photo, I used the Creative Kit in Google+. It is a combination of blur and soft focus.

It is a quick “fun” way to alter photos. However, it is by no means as cool as Photoshop. I could spend a lot of time altering one photo in Photoshop. I have seen the most amazing photos and then discovered the artist had spent 15 hours working on one photo.

Well, this is my simple version for today. I hope all of you had a relatively happy Monday.

Osceola Cheese, Yum!

Yum!

Today’s photograph is of the Osceola Cheese Catalog. We stopped there on our way home from Branson, Missouri. You can sample over 80 varieties of cheese. Anything and everything you can imagine from beer cheese, to spicy, to simple cheddar. It was a delicious experience.

They also have meats, jams, salsa, pickles, and a gift shop. It is definitely worth your time to pull over and visit the Osceola Cheese Company. You can also order online and have it delivered to your home.

Enjoy,
~Alie

Photoshop Diffuse Glow

I have decided that I need to take a Photoshop class or view the tutorial that Scott has. I know you can do cool things in Photoshop because I have watched a photographer transform a beautiful model to perfection. Although, I am not looking for perfection. However, I would like to create mixed media with photos, paint, and Photoshop.

Happy Friday to all. If you would like to participate in the blog hop, click on the button below.

SOOC

Today’s Theme: SOOC (straight out of the camera)

I am sharing a photo that I took in Wiesbaden, Germany. It is a favorite of mine because it is straight out of the camera, no touch ups, nothing, and it is beautiful.

If you would like to participate, please click on the button below.

The theme for next week: “Edit This” (sounds fun) I am using a free 30 day trial of Lightroom, so it is a perfect theme for next week.

Enjoy,

Reflection

Happy Friday Everyone. Today’s theme: Reflection

I chose a photo of a few pages of a book I made for my fiance for Christmas. It is a reflection of our love and also his love of the Army. Tucked in the brown pocket with the helmet on it, are some quotes.

The quotes are:

“A Soldier is the most-trusted profession in America.
Americans have trust in you because you trust each other.
No matter how difficult times are,
those of us who love the Army must stick with it.”

Richard A. Kidd
Sergeant Major of the Army
1991-1995

“Live the Army values every day, and do the things that General Dennis Reimer talks about when he says, “Do what’s right- legally and morally- every day, create an environment where soldiers can be all they can be; treat others as you’d want to be treated.” If you take those three pieces of guidance, and you couple it with Army values and you train hard and you maintain standards, I don’t know how you can go wrong.”

Robert E. Hall
Sergeant Major of the Army
1997-2000
