Behind the Scenes: Photowalk, Layout, and Effects
Sometimes we just have to walk away ... from the computer, that is. I mean, really ... how do we get content, where do we get photos to process if we never go outside. So last night I took Kobi for our semi-ritual walk down the path near my house to Coal Creek. Kobi is always patient and accommodating. I think it's his favorite time. But now he's looking back at me saying, "Mom, what's that thing at the end of our path?" ;->
In Behind the Scenes, we were asked to share our surroundings and play with layout. I don't have Lightroom, so I did my layout in InDesign--another way to arrange and size photos.
I got my fences in there too for Beyond Layers. They aren't very glamorous, but they're there.
I had some fun trying my hand at a little painterly effect (upper right) and different blending modes to give the sky several different looks.
Added the before and after of this as an after-thought.

Lissa, I'm not sure which I love more...the fences or the big, wide sky.
ReplyDeleteThey're all beautiful but I think the top left is my favorite! And you need to get Lightroom!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shot of Kobi on the trail!
ReplyDeleteNice....I like your layout. I looked up InDesign. Appears it's for Photoshop. I have Photoshop Elements. I can still put together a layout but it's a little more difficult.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful transformation of the sky in your "trail" image.
Lissa, this is wonderful, and I love your layout here.
ReplyDeleteI have just begun to play with InDesign and Illustrator. "Play" here is the operative word. Seems like an awful lot to learn, but that's kind of the same way I felt the first few times using Photoshop. So much I want to learn, so little time to do it in! :-)
xo.
Beautiful surroundings Lissa! I too like the wide open spaces. Your textured effect is very nice ♥
ReplyDeleteWhat a transformation! Love what you've done here!
