This Week's Featured Image - Week 7

I think I have the right week number...maybe. This was last week's Featured Image nonetheless. I am very sorry about not having this posted Sunday, I even forgot to change the image Sunday. I didn't remember until I was sitting at work Monday. Then I had a couple of other things to post about and didn't want to overload my blog and have a couple of posts get missed that way. As it is I think one did anyway.

So for this image I took the picture with my Samsung Propel (that would be my cell phone). This was at the farm with Kevin's family when the HP Photosmart camera we had decided to be a PhotoDUMB camera (if you've been to my Shop you would have seen that lovely play on words already. HINT HINT)

 Anyway, I used PhotoImpact to alter the image as usual and I really am not sure what all I did to it. I know I used Saturation, I think I may have used Diffuse Glow, and other than that I used a Frame to create the scratchy look. I will have to start keeping a log of the things I do to a picture to get them from start to finish.

I will post the Before image later when I have access to the other computer. It is currently entertaining Kevin with Netflix movies. I will also have to make note to get a very large USB drive to store all my pics in so that I can have access to them from any computer.

Here is the original image. Have a great day everyone.

INTRODUCING!!!

A few weeks ago (maybe it was closer to a month) I got a message on my facebook from an old High School friend. I haven't spoken to her since right after I graduated (1995). She and I were best of buds and hung out ALL the time. We were art geeks together and both of us developed a massive love of photography. Thanks to the world-wide-web she and I are in contact again and that is just AWESOME! She has started her own blog Pic Crazy, and she and I are in cahoots to possibly start a dual blog with a really neat idea. (More on that later, after we brainstorm some more!)

So why don't you go drop by Pic Crazy and say HI to my friend!
