The above photo is a poor shot. My two friends had gone down to the water while I waited, somewhat fatigued and wearing the boot the podiatrist told me to wear until my heel is healed. But I don't know why I did not move closer for a better shot??
When I arrived home I decided I wanted to still capture that moment with what I had, so I used all the effects I found on picnik.com to come up with something worth saving as a memoir of our visit. I'm trying to decide which of the various results is my favorite and I think I've found it.
Which is yours?

Mine is the last one or the one with
sepia and sun...does it
deserve a frame I wonder...
Last but not least I went back today and used the hypnotic effect and lo and behold, a clam shell!
oh that must have been quite frustrating not able to enjoy the water with them...but it did add for some fun photo editing time, eh? I like the fourth one, the one with the yellow burst.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anika
DeleteI like the sepia and sun one as well! And yes, by all means frame it. It's lovely and very artsy!
ReplyDeleteI see we follow a few of the same blogs. Creative Exchange, Shaking the Tree, Lisa gordon. I have a photo blog as well.
Thank you, and,yes, I see that and I will hop over and see more of your photo blog, Karen.
DeleteI like the same two you mention! Isn't it wonderful that we can embellish what almost seem like photographic disappointments and turn them into something we will want to keep forever?!! Thank you for sharing these with Photo Art Friday kkkkaty.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm glad you commented on my Photo Art today! Your profile is absolutely poetic. I need to get a map to see if Lakewood is near White Salmon... I've driven the Oregon side of the Columbia so many times, but when we crossed to Washington it was between Biggs and The Dalles so we could visit Maryhill and Stonehenge and little sites between.
ReplyDeleteAre you, like me, disappointed that Picnik is disappearing next month? I did find some of the actions on the newest version of Picasa, but they aren't enough.
As for your photos, I do like the sepia....and there's something special about a long-distance view of people on the beach.
Thank you for the nice comment, Evelyn...I agree with the people on the beach theme...and Lakewood is closer to Tacoma/Seattle while White Salmon is across the bridge from Hood River on the bluff,(above Bingen) probably 20 minutes west of Maryhill and much greener ;)
DeleteI'm going to look up Paint shop Pro??
Nice play with different effects.
ReplyDeleteRegards and best wishes
Thank you, Tatjana..
ReplyDeleteFun to see all of your different versions. Especially the "oyster." :)
ReplyDeleteI think they turned out great, I like the long distance shot. Wish you could have come down to beach with us.
ReplyDeleteWell you might get it in the form of a birthday card..and I was very happy just to be there with the two of you.
DeleteLooks like fun to try all of these out... think I like the third where it looks like a sunset in the background. Take care of your heel! Thanks also for stopping by my blog
ReplyDeleteI think the "clam shell" effect is really great
