Last Sunday we went to a family wedding at Lake Lavon. The bride and groom parachuted in (that's how they met) and it was a casual affair on the lakeshore. The Cowboy Church preacher married them. I managed to take 397 photos while we were there. Don't you love digital cameras? I will be working through them for a while.
Not all the photos were of the wedding. I also took some photos of my son having fun at the shoreline. I took pictures of the waves, the "beach" and a tree for use as texture photos.
Here's one of the photos I did for the week 1 project 1 of Digital Layers. As always you can click on the photo and go to my Flickr photostream to view it, and others, in better resolution. And you can check out the group photos for the class from a link on this photo's page.
The photo really looks better viewed in a larger size. I used a photo of my son at the water's edge for background, and layered another photo of the waves surging over the shoreline, followed by a layer of glass texture from Texture King. Texture King has lots of really interesting free texture photos. The originals are on the Flickr stream for comparison.
I have Susan's newest book Digital Expressions:Creating Digital Art with Adobe Photoshop Elements. After I finish the online class I'm working through the book. The book looks great, and the projects cover some techniques that I've wanted to learn for a long time. There's a disk included with the book but I haven't had time to look at it yet.
and many Somerset magazines). I like the clear instructions and the fact that there is a printable PDF file with the instructions and also on-line video instructions.
