We have been having
some extreme weather lately. The ranges behind our small town are covered in
snow, usually you can’t see them as they are covered in cloud. But this weekend the sunrise was doing its
work and this was the view as I walked to the diary to get some milk.
Then I fiddled with the photo in levels etc.
Then I went into full play mode and created this. I know I used a background from Shadowhouse
Creations and lots of filters and created a mirror effect to give the impression of
reflections in water.
Then I went back to the original and superimposed a
photo of some Mexican sunflowers that were growing in my garden in the
summer. With all this cold I need a
little sunshine!

Then I used another photo of the Tararuas further up the valley, the snow had come down
to the foothills. I admit that I
enhanced the sunlit areas in photoshop.
For my final picture today I used another
background from Shadowhouse Creations and created this effect as if I was seeing the
view from frosted windows
Have a great week everyone.

ReplyDeleteI love them all - you took such a different approach each time. But my very favourite is the last one , your MoM entry. Great texture and colour - and editing.Thank you for sharing on Mandarin Orange Monday:)
ReplyDeleteOh wow.... such lovely mountains! You captured a perfect day, and made it better digitally! The last one is so abstracted, doesn't even look like the same! Fantastic effects! Right now we are having a hot spell, feels nice to see snow :oD
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mountains. How wonderful walking to the dairy to get milk. It's been ages since last I did that. We don't have dairy's out this way anymore. It's sad. Great photos. I'll be joining in soon. Have to get out there and take pix.
ReplyDeleteGloria.
What a view :-) the original is my favorite! But I love how you used the different filters to change the expression/impression, the "water color papery" effect on the third is pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteI have added one more photo to my post ;-)
