Sunrise 2/17/2011

Hi..This morning I went outside to get something in my truck..The clouds had such gorgeous color that I ran back into my 5th wheel to get my camera... the first photo is the original framed in Fastone software.. (click to see larger photograph)

The next two photographs show what can be done after processing the original in Photoshop, Topaz Adjust, Topaz Simplify, and Corel Painter Essentials 4.

Last, but not least, is a different watercolor effect using the same software programs.

I can't wait to see what tomorrow morning's sunrise will bring..

My Grandson Andre's Senior Portraits

Two weeks ago I went, with my daughter Colleen and grandson Andre to the San Juan Mission.. She was taking his senior portraits. I took my little point and shoot camera and took some portraits for myself... I had lots of fun enhancing them on my computer..trying to get a little different look... He is a handsome devil...and a nice young man.

Then I attempted to do some different effects

 Now for a more painterly effect in color and black and white:
