Shoot and Edit–Week 38 Edit

Hey everyone!

It’s been a frustrating day for me – I’ve realized that the hard drive on my desktop literally has about 3 GB of free space left on it… and so, it’s completely slow.  And annoying.  And now I’m going to have to purchase a bigger hard drive sooner than expected.  Sigh.

After waiting all day to get my three pictures edited… I have finally given up on my desktop and moved to my laptop. 

So, here’s my edits for this week.

I decided to go with Nelly Nero’s Autumn Vintage for these shots – I like the cool, fall feel it gives them.

Mouse over to see the originals.

Leaves.  For this one, I ran AV, then I actually added the original file back on as a layer, and reduced opacity.  I wanted to keep some of the colour of the leaves.

And apples.  I did the same trick with the original picture as a layer.  This isn’t my favourite picture – I could have been more creative – but it is what it is.

 

And finally, the praying mantis.  I used the action Vanilla Pop on this, and took out the fly.  I’m also linking up this Praying Mantis picture with show {off} your shot.  (And was I ever thrilled that my picture from last week was chosen as one of Rachel’s favourites! )

 

So there’s my fall edits!
