July 7: At evening at our campground in Michigan, this tree was silhouetted against a soft sunset sky. It is a stark image, so it was hard to find a filter that worked with it. Instead, I made a gradient from the purple at the top and the pink at the bottom. I selected the black of the tree and applied the gradient to everything else. It defines the laciness of the tree, creating perhaps a silk screen effect.
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
This is gorgeous, Bobbie. I love the finished product. This is a prize-winner for sure.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, it really looks like a pen drawing!
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a silk screen, lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty. It would be great as the background on some sort of inspirational poster.
