Compose Yourself Adjustments

Posted on November 24, 2015 by Mama Cormier

….yesterday I posted photos of Vertical Lines with adjustments to some of the photos

One of the things that I have difficulty with is removing details from a photo without leaving a blur. Cee commented that she couldn’t see the adjustment so I decided to print the before and the after photos. The other thing I don’t know how to do is add photos to the comment boxes.

As you can see I cropped the bottom and the right hand side, enhanced the colour, added more contrast and I took away the yellow sign on the blue lamp post. Can you see the blur now?

WPC – Ornate

Posted on November 8, 2015 by Mama Cormier

….this week’s theme for the Weekly Photo Challenge is Ornate

Since man gets most of his design ideas from nature, I decided to look to nature to capture the delicate and intricate patterns found in the plant world for this week’s theme.

Happy Place – Walking Along the Beach

Posted on October 9, 2015 by Mama Cormier

…..I’m particularly found of the beach at my cottage

Cool fresh water, warm sand between my toes and an early morning sunrise when the beach is still somewhat deserted is a happy place for me. I love going for a quick dip and then sitting on a comfy chair with a fresh cup of coffee and just taking in my surroundings. What a great way to start the day!
