I haven't been on here in a while!

I have had a lot going on in my life. I have been really sick lately plus our baby is having a lot of test! I don't really have time to explain but I will say my life has been really busy and ask for everyone to please pray for our baby. This will explain our situation better. We found out we were having a baby and were so happy and excited about it. Especially what happened! But here is the jest of it!

Old Barn

I created this from an old barn picture I had that I took right here in NC. I used the HDR method of course. Then I used some burning, dodging, and blending for this effect. I enhanced the red and yellow. I also used a grey layer for the clouds. Here is my result. I love North Carolina.

All My Photos on Explore

I will post as I find out what ranking they are on expore: I am note sure. Scout is confusing. Not sure if it is descrepencies or what:

I Love Photoshop

I created this piece by using a farm picture of mine and using the black and white effect to make it infrared. Then I used a layer to blend it slightly to a leaner burn. I then used the burn brush on the ground and area around the barn to make it darker. Then I used the dodge brush to make the barn and clouds lighter. I played with the occupancy of these two brushed for the effect making the effect slight.

Then I borrowed images from Deviant Art. I borrowed the moon from priesteres_stock here: http://priesteres-stock.deviantart.com/

Then I borrowed the lady from SilaynneStock here: http://silaynnestock.deviantart.com/

I turned the lady into BW after sizing and removing the background around her. Then I used the infrared effect on her. Pasted her to the picture then used the burn brush on her. This helps her match the mood. Then I used a brush occupancy to 9 and a smaller brush for the red on the barn and ladies dress.

I created fog on the image by creating an empty layer then choosing a very light grey color. I set the brush to dissolve with the occupancy to 30. After I brushed over the parts I wanted fog on I used the Gaussian Blur at occupancy 12.5 .

Now I have my Spooky image.

Two More Photos Hit Explore

Here are two more that are on explore in my Flickr page. It is weird because my Explore Scout keeps changing photos in explore. As soon as I see a photo it scout then in a few days it disappears. It keeps changing
