Snowfall – Diptych

posted by Babs on Wednesday, 18 February 2009

I just learned what Diptych means after reading a post by The Pioneer Woman who said that a diptych refers to two images (paintings, tablets) that sit side-by-side and go together very nicely.

She suggested that we might like to post our own diptych, so here’s mine.  These were taken when we got our lovely snowfall..

I’m sorry I haven’t posted much lately, but I’m having difficulty keeping this blog updated as much as I’d like to.

Here are a few photos I took recently, with my new Canon 50mm 1.8 lens.  Hope you like them.

Sepia Scenes

posted by Babs on Wednesday, 3 December 2008

This is a photo taken a few years ago, when we had a lovely snow fall.  I turned it sepia using ‘Colour Variations’ in Photoshop, until I got the desired colour.  I then burnt it out a bit to make it look old and faded, using ‘Level’ and altering the highlight slider (on the right) to bleach out the snow colour.  added a layer and brushed on the outer shaded bits.  Once I was satisfied, I ‘flattened’ the image.

If you click my ‘Snow’ category link, you will see the original photo, that Mo took.

PhotoHunters 128 – Road

posted by Babs on Saturday, 20 September 2008

This photo was taken two years ago, when we last had enough snow to go out taking photos.  I must admit to loving snow, but we haven’t had much in recent years.  I thought this road was an absolute picture, and took several photos of it.  I just loved the sun shining through the trees, and the clear blue sky.

A few snow scenes I took a couple of years ago.  We don’t get much snow any more so we have to make the most of it :O)
