Exploring my love of Photography...and PSE :)

Over the last few weeks I have been working in photo shop elements and learning more about actions and textures so I thought I would share some of the fun I have been having with YOU! The photos I am using were taken this weekend on a side trip to my college alma mater, Toccoa Falls College. We are blessed enough to have a wonderful waterfall on campus so I worked with a photo I took of the falls...and I also worked with one I took of some daisies...one of my favorite flowers!  (you can click on a photo to enlarge it)

Here are the falls straight out of the camera shot (SOC):

I added texture to this one which is very simple and gives it a unique look:

With the next photo I just ran a simple color pop action for a boost!

and finally I ran a vintage action which reminded me of photos from the 70's :)

and then I had a little fun with some daisies!

here is the SOC:

I cropped the photo and added a little perk:

and then I added my favorite texture:

and this one is my favorite so far...of course I am still working on some.

So...which one is your favorite?  :)

thanks for your nice comment on the frogs :)

your photography is beautiful. I love how you've "antiqued" the photos -- very nice.

I love that texture on the daisies

And yes, 70s waterfall reminds me of my childhood...

I love the 3rd waterfall and the 2nd daisy - I wish I had photoshop! However, I think I'd spend all my time messing around with photos and not enough time working :) All the photos are really beautiful though!

They're all gorgeous! But if I had to choose, I'd pick the third waterfall and the daisies with texture. Nice.

I demoed PS Elements for ONE day and then, ordered it! LOL! I'm having SO much fun. You have done a beautiful thing with these pictures.

Loving the textured daisies & I love the color boost to the waterfall.

You must teach me your ways...
