As the Spring season beings new life and growth to our days...  we finds new ways to bloom.

My life the last two weeks has been high speed with new life and growth.

I must be experiencing a new Spring.

Spring is coming and the flowers are finding sunny days around us.  I'm enjoying this little series and bringing a new creative flare the images.  There is the possibility that I'm just slapping some random filter and brush over my photographs and letting photoshop sort it out.  There is more to it than that for me.  I'm actually blending color palettes and filters from GIMP and Photoshop.  I like some features of each and am finding ways to work them together.  What can you do in your digital darkroom?

I'm having a good time playing around the edit board with my visions of Springtime.

Can you see these at 24" x 32" hung in a gallery?

How about a post card series?

Maybe just at PhotoCMQ?

I love the flowers that come this time of year and carry for the next six months.  I'm looking forward to seeing them differently once again.  Looking forward to presenting them differently and pushing post production from photographs into art pieces as they grow and mature.  Come along for the ride.

I caught this phenomenon image a few days ago at the park.  In review tonight I notice a spatial disturbance in the trees.  The sonic rings are clearly visible low and dead center.  If you notice in the upper left corner is the reflection of an airliner and the contrails it is making while tracking across the sky.  Could they be related?

What do you think is happening here?

Brenda Photo Challenge: Before and After

How does your art come to you?  We took on a challenge to make some before and after images.  That is take a photograph and edit some variations.  I take on this challenge to try new effects and create a new technique.  Develop a new grunge paint tint or begin blending multiple effects together.  It is all in the spirit of exploration and the challenge of discovery.
I give you "Aeroplane"
