Red Leaf with Texture
When one is outdoors, one finds images. When one is shooting still lifes indoors, one creates images.
I've been quite excited and intrigued by the technique of combining a "standard" photo image with a photo (or drawing) of a textured scene. It is new to me and I wished to try.
Of course there is a learning curve, what images are good for this; what textures work for me; how do I see images and scenes; the technical issues of photoshop?
This is attempt number three. The first, which I should put up, let's not be embarassed by our failures, or lesser successes, stymied me and I didn't try again for two to three weeks.
I've no idea what i'm doing, but I've bookmarked a number of you guys and gals that are doing it. I'me going to learn. Flickr is fantastic.
Morning Star of the City
We found a very cool little perch overlooking the city of San Francisco and set up camp there for a while waiting for moments like this!

Northern Lights over Sweden
This was shot in Juoksengi, Sweden, where the Swedish/Finnish border and the Arctic Circle cross. There was a 20 minute break in the clouds, and I was lucky enough to notice and run outside. It was just after 7pm, but up here the sun set at 2pm so it was very dark.
I used a Nikon D40 on a tripod, set to Aperture Priority. It took about 14 shots about 30 minutes in a foot of snow to finally find a setting that worked! The shutter stayed open for about 30 seconds on all of these photos.

window light

Hope you all like it. Worked a while on this one to get it right.
Had to correct the overall picture then spent a little time adding a light from the window where there was none. Ooops. Did I just tell one of my secrets? Shhh. Don't tell anyone. Just you and Photoshop know. (smile)
Thanks so much for stopping by,
Jim

Two Trees in the morning
These trees seem to be made for a setting like this, with the Chiltern Hills in the background. Luckily we get plenty of morning fog.
It went on to be a lovely sunny day in this part of England.
