Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland

It snowed this weekend for the first time this…autumn. Yes, that’s right, it’s still three weeks away from winter and we have snow. But that’s not so bad, it made for some nice shots at Faust Park in Chesterfield. Here’s some previews for you to enjoy!

I had more fun with textures (as usual) with some of the images. As you can see, A Snowy Autumn Day in the Park, I got crafty with Leah Profancik's papers and frames. I really like the way that turned out...considering it was my first attempt at something like that. Not bad for an amateur, eh? It's funny, sometimes I surprise myself, in good ways of course.

The fence shot I got really layer crazy and had a blast, it looks great though. I actually used the same texture layer twice and just changed the blending style for each of them. It's kind of amusing, I loved the photo when I shot it but after I uploaded it, I totally disliked it. But, of course, after all my edits, I'm back in love with this piece.

This final shot isn't my best work, but there was just something about it that I liked. There's something almost whimsical about it, I think...but it could be just me. Any input anyone else has about this shot would be much appreciated. A texture maybe? Or maybe a paper? I just don't know! I've done so many edits these past couple days with the website going live and my class projects coming up, that my eyes are going crazy and my brain is turned to mush! Please help!

Well, anyway, this post has gone on long enough and I've run out of things to say. I hope you'll all check back in the next couple of days because I'm sure I'll have something new and fun to talk about since the website is live...which I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am over! Woohoo!

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Yours,
