This is my own photography. Filters and bows are from Photoshop.

I found a leaf with an opening in it, and used it to frame the maple tree in the back yard. Yellow leaves around the owl are my own as well.

Thanks everyone for your views, comments, awards, invites and faves.

Experimenting with an editing feature that I rarely use: Tint. Take a pic, convert it to Sepia, give the saturation a boost and then accentuate with an orange-brownish tint ..

From my commute this morning. Adjustments to light levels. Color and saturation is untouched and as it came from the camera. Cropped a little.

Standing in the midst of Teddy-bear Chollas staring into the sunrise is an amazing experience. The cold desert is aglow with warm sunlight, and the cacti appear to be aflame.

Fortunately, although this was taken at the same time wildfires ravaged the northern and central California coastlines, there were no actual fires near Joshua Tree NP.

Our hearts and prayers remain with all of our neighbors to the north who have suffered tremendous losses, during these difficult last couple of weeks.

Penser à la netteté du sujet uniquement n'est pas le challenge à relever quand on veut aussi magnifier l'environnement dans lequel il évolue. Mieux vaut limiter la profondeur de champ et "ciseler" peaufiner ses réglages pour faire de l'arrière plan un élément incontournable de sa composition...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thinking about the sharpness of the subject only is not the challenge to take up when you also want to magnify the environment in which it evolves. Better to limit the depth of field and "chisel" fine-tune its settings to make the background an essential element of its composition...

Après plusieurs minutes à attendre une lumière clémente et après avoir compensé l'exposition, se tient dans mon viseur une scène ou le sujet "baigne" dans une ambiance preqsue irréelle.

After several minutes waiting for a mild light and after compensating for the exposure, stands in my viewfinder a scene where the subject "bathes" in an unreal atmosphere.

My offering for Sliders Sunday.

Winter scene on Grouse Creek in North Idaho. Increased the levels and Saturation. Also intensified the sun's flare a bit.

Happy Cliche Saturday and Slider Sunday!

As the sun sets, the normally golden-colored dunes are painted a rich saturated magenta color! This image was taken in Death Valley California at Mesquite Flat near Stovepipe Wells.

You might not believe this, but I had to actually turn down saturation in this one to make it look "real" ! ;-)

Visit Frogmore

Acer rubrum, "October Glory," one of three medium- to fast-growing vibrantly colored trees with dense glossy foliage we had planted last year. It just turned this remarkable hue!

Glory, indeed, particularly in the rain and overcast sky we had today. NO increase in saturation or vibrancy.

Thanks for looking, for your faves, and for your comments.

I was playing with the camera a bit yesterday. I also decided to play with editing a bit. The orchid in this image is actually white with a hint of green towards the center and slightly purple veins in the center.

The image was taken indoors with low light and the background is the colors and light through the picture window. You know, the window where I used to spend a lot of time peering into the backyard. I will get back to doing that as time allows.

Have a wonderful day and happy snapping.

An ongoing exercise: find something to shoot at every traffic stop.

Nothing added but saturation , shadow, light , the usual post processing only heavy on the Sats ... The colors were there just to find them !!

Saturation ( Picasa3 )

For Sliders Sunday, I pumped up the colours mainly affecting the reflections in the backdrop of the river but also affecting the sagebrush somewhat.

Alpinia purpurata

Planta originária das Ilhas dos Mares do Sul, atingem até 2m de altura. Muito usada por paisagistas por sua forma densa, volumosa e floração que se estende por todo o ano.

For Smile on Saturday's #fluffy theme

This fluffy creation was my son's art homework, helping him learn about the colour wheel.

Processed in a few ways (black and white, then a curves adjustment, then a bit of decreased saturation on top) to tone down the colours.

It was 56 minutes before sunrise, so it was quite dark out. In the gloom, I could see a very faint glow. When I exposed for 30 seconds, I was most pleasantly surprised by how much light and saturation there was. I was also surprised to be the town hall clock tower in the frame, for I didn't notice it at the time.

I was sitting patiently in my personal luxury bird hide (the lounge) waiting for a baby blackbird to hop by within range, but it was being highly uncooperative. So, I turned my attention to a nearby Christmas bauble instead for a silly seasonal selfie! (I know, it is a bit early for the Christmas decorations.....). I never really saw any detail in the viewfinder, and it wasn't until I uploaded it to the computer that I saw the selfie and the other details in the reflection. The shot was taken with the camera at right angles to the window, so it shows both inside and out. The snowman which appears to be quite big and sitting outside is actually a window cling and is on the inside, and it is only 4 inches tall. The red bauble itself is just an inch and a half across.

A lot of extra saturation and other adjustments for Slider Sunday.

Happy Slider Sunday

(I am still waiting for the blackbird to appear!!!)

sometimes just darkening a image makes the colors pop more than sliding the saturation scale up a few notches
