Delicate Arch – Old West Style
There are so many photos out there of Utah’s famous Delicate Arch that I wanted to do something a little different. To add a little flavor, I tried a bunch of actions and ended up with the Old West one by Pioneer Woman. I know it won’t be to everyone’s taste but I found it fun, and at least it’s different!
P.S. The photo was taken through a nearby arch, hence the black around the edges and the different angle.
A Little Rosie on the Side
New version of Photoshop, new pictures, and, as it turns out, new template. The last part was an oops when I broke my previous template and figured it was time to find something I liked better. After all, getting it set up shouldn’t be a problem, right?
Okay, I’ll wait until you stop laughing.
That’s better. Anyway, I’m not totally satisfied with this template, but it’ll do for now until I get better at CSS, some poor soul on the WordPress forums comes to my rescue, or I find something else I like even better. Or I could finally bite the bullet and move to Pixelpost. That option would mean losing all of my comments and redoing each and every one of my posts by hand. Tasty.
Oh, yes. And about the picture. That’s Rosie. First thing I did when I got home from work on Monday was open my shiny new box of Photoshop CS4 and get to work. And might I say, WOW? (Actually, WOW!!!) A little time, a guidebook, a few of Pioneer Woman’s actions, a lot of patience, and way too many photos of cats and flowers later and, well, I’ve started to get a handle on the program. Yippee.
Now to catch up on everything I wasn’t doing while tooling around on Photoshop and WordPress. Ugh.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Wishing you a happy Valentine’s Day with a photo that is completely unlike my usual shots. I learned how to do partial desaturation/saturation last summer by playing around with this photo, which was taken in my backyard right after an afternoon shower. When I saw it again a few days ago, I just knew it had to go up today. Back to my usual stuff on Monday…
I’ve Moved!
Thanks for following me to my new home on the internet! Although it happened behind the scenes, I’ve actually been planning this move for quite a while. I still have a lot to do, such as updating links within the posts, but I just couldn’t wait any longer for the unveiling. The rest of the site, including a new home for my regular blog, should be ready soon if all goes well. Playing with Pixels, however, was my first priority.
If applicable, please don’t forget to change any links you may have. The new site address is http://www.caryncaldwell.com/photos. The feed address is http://feeds.feedburner.com/carynsphotos. If you had been using the Feedburner subscription, no need to change the feed address. This includes anyone who has subscribed using email delivery.
If you have any questions about the new site, I’d love to hear from you.
Thistle Tips
I imagine this one will receive some mixed reactions because of the choice of depth of field. This is another experiment with the borrowed macro lens. In this case, I was playing with depth of field. You can view the same flower, a thistle, here.
