I used two images for "A night in the desert" in CS5

The first thing I did was to ad some color to the bright hole in the sun. Then I  blended them with "vivid light".   I tried several things but then I finished it with the filter "Dry brush" after I had downsized the image.

Transition

© NF Photo 121119 Edit 131203, Western Sahara,

This is the original image for the NFP post Transition. A rather plain image but with possibilities.
With this image I used several techniques in CS5. The first thing I did was to clone away the stones at the bottom. And adjusted contrasts and light.  And Saturation of course.
One filter was used only to the sand part of the image. To the water part I tried out the "Mixer brush tool" in order to blend a bit green in the blue.
 Filter Glass/Frosted was used to finish off the last image. There was some more filters for the bottom part but I can´t remember.

How to create Ghosts in the tub

To create the "Ghosts in the tub" shot over in NF2 I used these 2 "lousy" shots as originals. It is my grandchildren ages ago when digital cameras was still not every mans tool. The images are small but the camera was rather good anyway. It was my first back in 2004. I´m not sure but I think the first image was with a flash. The other not.

The first one I used as it is and copied the second one and overlayed it in Arc Soft Photo studio.  I adjusted the image to fit the waterpipe and tub. Then I cropped the image and set the top layer to about 50% visibility.  And, voilá ghosts was born. :)

Teckning - Drawing Monica

Well, this is a self portrait. I remember well sitting in front of the mirror. Seemed like I loved cowboy hats already then. :)  There is a note in the upper corner that my mother, Marie, helped with some final adjustments. Probably the eyes.

To bad the drawing is miscolored. It is the hores that is glued on the back cover below it and it seem to have allowed for light to come in at the sides.
