One Photo Per Day (repeat)

#1 - Take a basic beach scene.....

#2 - ....add a beautiful sunset......

#3 - ...and, voila - you have a prettier beach scene.

Someday I hope to be able to figure out this website. I posted a blog today and it went into FaceBook, but not on to the blog site. Go figure.

I'm going to try to re-create it, but it can be viewed on my FaceBook profile.

I discovered a website today called http://www.mostly365.com/ that challenges you to post one photo per day. I'm going to do that, but I had neglected my blog for so long that I thought I could do that here as well, and also be able to explain the photos (which you cannot on the 365 site).

I have learned in the past couple of weeks how to combine, or merge, 2 photos or more together to create a different "look". I have posted the 2 photos in their original states (above), then the new one made from the first 2. This is a fun, addicting technique, and I could post for the next couple of weeks a different one every day. Maybe I'll do that. And someday I hope to learn how to put the photos where I want them on this blog website.

One Photo Per Day

#3 - Combination of both photos.

#2 - Basic sunset

#1 - basic beach scene

I just discovered a new website today called http://www.mostly365.com/ and it has inspired me to try to do a small blog every day with a new photograph.

I have been working on learning new techniques for post processing of photos, using Photoshop Elements 9, and it is such fun - actually addicting.

The technique that I've been working on for the past several days is combining 2 photographs to make a new image. Actually I've been doing this for a long time, but new techniques have come to light, and I've been practicing. I am posting 3 photographs today - two of them are the "before" pictures, and the other is the final version. I've done so many of these lately that I could spend a week or more, just posting those.

I'd also like to learn on this blogspot how to put your photos where you want them. So far I've been unsuccessful. Does anyone have any ideas or instruction?
