I was out in my front yard talking with my neighbor the other day and at the same time we both turned around and noticed these little tiny white berries on a very barren tree.
(Untouched original photo)
I had never noticed them before. I grabbed my camera and started shooting away. I fell in love with this photo ... Oh, can you imagine it layered with another photo?
Then I started playing with it and applied a bunch of different presets.
Preset: WOW-Antique 10
Preset: Color Creative - Yesteryear 1
Preset: Creative - Split Tone 3
Preset: Color Creative - Purple Glasses
Preset: WOW-c_BnW_02, WOW-d_Bnw_02
Preset: Color Creative - Cold Tone
Preset: B&W Creative - Antique Gray
Some of these presets are included in Adobe Lightroom3, which is the photo editing program I use, and then some of the presets I have purchased here at RadLab and them a few are from onOne Prefect Presets.
Oh sure I could monkey with all the sliders in Lightroom 3 and get these same effects, but why when I can just push a button and get these great effects in seconds?














How wonderful to play. I have started doing something similar and the results cna be so unexpected. you have captured many different moods here! Lovely!

Cynthia.... You are so totally awesome... I've spent over an hour drooling over your projects. I finally figured out why I have no artist talent .... cause god bypassed me when he saw you girl! You are SO talented in SO many ways!
I'm going to try to decoupaged my sewing machine like your tutorial (the one thing I love to do is piece Quilts), that looked like fun.
One question.... is there a way to subscribe to your blog by Email? i didn't see the option, but I'm kinda dipsy so I might have missed it.
Could you let me know by my email (lindavb50208@yahoo.com) so I won't forget to look?
Thanks and keepa craftin!
Linda
