Colors

Take the same picture and change the colors. Which colors are you drawn to? Which colors do you dismiss? Does the tone affect your choice?

Second attempt

I was reminded today to post the second attempt on my blog. I did on the photo class blog but not here. Grandpa B, this is for you.

Adult/Child

Our assignment, to choose to photograph "The Seven Deadly Sins" or "My Composite Face". Since I don't think "outside the box" very well and I need to learn to do some things in Photoshop, I chose to take two pictures of myself, one at two years old and one at fifty and merge the two. This is my first attempt. I will be doing a few more over the next couple of days to play around with Photoshop. I am going to attempt to do a half and half. Any suggestions?

Backyard Harvest

It has taken me since last spring to construct these photos. We have been planting, weeding, pruning, spraying, watering, watching, and waiting all summer. The harvest is almost finished. After the produce is picked, then the real work begins. Cleaning, sorting, storing, washing, preparing, and planning the tools to preserve each item is next. Canning pickles, pie filling, pears, peaches, and grape jelly as well as freezing tomatoes, applesauce, and salsa is almost a full-time job. I wanted a picture of the beginning and the end results. We will enjoy this over the winter only to begin, yet again, next spring.
