Moments in Time

A little Visitor...

2012-03-01T12:47:00.000+10:30

Went down to the stables, the other day, to feed my horse and this little fellow was just outside my shed.

I just had time to grab my camera and fire off a couple of shots before he run away.

Texture Tuesday...The White eDition

2012-02-28T13:09:00.000+10:30

The challenge for this week Texture Tuesdays is the colour white.

I added Kim's new texture 'happy heart' and one of her little brushes from the 'Beyond Layers' eCourse.

Baby Quilt...

2012-02-27T13:49:00.000+10:30

I finished my first 'Coin Stack Baby Quilt'.

I am so pleased with the result, I will be giving it to my niece who is expecting her second child in April.

My grandson has put an order in for a quilt for his bed, so I will be getting started on it next.

Christchurch Cathedral, May 2008.

This beautiful cathedral is no longer standing.

This is my tribute to the people of Christchurch, who are still rebuilding their lives

from the ruins of last year's devastating earthquakes.

We were lucky to be able to visit this amazing place, back in 2008,

and we are looking forward to going there again soon.

Where has the year gone?

Today "Moments in Time" turns one year old.

When I started, I never though that I would make it this far.

A must say a very big thank you to all of you who have kept me inspired.

Thank you to everyone who follow, leave a comment or who are just passing through.

"Time"

I combined these two images taken down at the Brighton Sculpture Exhibitions

I used PDPA Abstract Splotches and Chinks of Light textures

Both at 100% Linear Light mode.

2. Footwear

Relaxing on the 'Melbourne' Paddle Steamer.

That's where it all started for me. My parents bought me this little camera when I was young.

It took 120mm B&W film and I had lots of fun taking family photos.

4. Shiny

Shiny clean.

5. Color Me Green

This beautiful piece titled "Waiting for Me" was carved from Mt Gambier Limestone.

Added Kim's Simplicity texture. First at 100% Hue mode, then again at 100% Color Burn mode

Texture Tuesday...The Story eDition

2012-01-24T14:07:00.000+10:30

Kim Klassen, in her Beyond layers series, has this quote by Thomas M Cirignano

"Each of us is a book waiting to be written, and that book, if written, results in a person explained."

I wonder what his story is...

I used Kim's new texture 'Simplicity'. First in Softlight mode 100% opacity, then in Multiply mode at 62% opacity with the elliptical marquee tool used to eliminate some of the texture off the man and background.

New Project...

2012-01-23T18:35:00.001+10:30

I have not had much chance to get near my sewing machine since just before Christmas,

so my first quilt is still not finished.

Ready for quilting.

My niece is expecting a little boy in May, so I have decided to make her a baby quilt.

Stack of material, cut and ready to be put together.

Here are my contributions.

1. Sunset

Sunset on the Murray

2. Black & White

Kingston on the Murray

3. A Day in My Life

The past few weeks, my days have been filled with showing Chrystel around SA.

Distorted reflections in Rundle Mall's Silver Balls.

5. Colorful

A Bouquet of Sunshine...

2012-01-21T14:26:00.001+10:30

While walking along Rundle Mall, I spotted these lovely sunflowers under the canopy of one of the flowers stalls.

Photo Art Friday...and Beyond Layers link up

2012-01-20T19:38:00.000+10:30

This was a bit out of my comfort zone. A long way from pretty flowers!

Took a shot of this burned out ute which was left in the street not far from home.

Edited in PSE9, added a 'Poster Edge' filter layer and a 'Cut Out' filter layer. Then applied PDPA's Chinks of light texture.

Kim Klassen has challenged us to be a little simplistic with our composition.

To to this simple shot of some paint brushes in a glass, I added Kim's new texture 'awaken'.

I made some adjustment to the color of the texture by adding a hue/saturation layer adjustment.

Hot Chocolate Anyone...

2012-01-19T19:07:00.001+10:30

On our trip to Mildura, we stopped at this little cafe in Barmera for lunch.

Not only was this the best tasting hot chocolate I have had but the best looking one too.

Chrystel...

2012-01-18T13:10:00.001+10:30

After spending three weeks with us, my cousin, Chrystel, is now on her way home.

It was so wonderful to have her with us and being able to show her around the place where we live.

We also discover how similar we are, not only in our passion for horses and photography but also in our view of life in general. I will miss her terribly.

On the positive, we are now planning a trip to France for 2014.

Texture Tuesday...The 'Open' eDition

2012-01-17T16:22:00.000+10:30

While showing my cousin around the Barossa Valley, we came across this lovely winery overlooking the valley.

The cellar door was left half-open as a small invitation to come in

and taste the wonderful sweet wines they had on offer.

I used KK-pumpkin grunge at 100% color burn mode and KK-warmsun at 100% color mode.

Photo Art Friday...

2012-01-13T18:53:00.002+10:30

I prepared this image before the Holidays, knowing I would be busy spending time with my cousin visiting us from France. I used one of Bonnie's texture and different filter layers, but for the life of me I can't remember which one as I can't find my notes.

Hallett Cove...

2012-01-12T20:37:00.001+10:30

On Wednesday, my cousin Chrystel and I went to visit my Dad.

But first, we took a walk along the beach.

This is called the 'Sugarloaf'.

Around 280 millions years ago, this area was covered by an ice cap. It melted 270 millions years ago.

The distinct red and white layers of sediments were deposited on the bottom of an ancient glacial meltwater lake.

The 'Sugarloaf''s shape is due to erosion by rain and wind over the last thousand years.

Blue Tongue Lizard...

2012-01-11T20:18:00.002+10:30

On our way back from Mildura, we stopped on the side of the road to take some shots of the river.

We were following a short trail when we came across this fellow. I am not sure who was the most surprise

I cannot take credit for this image as it was taken by my cousin.

White Agapanthus...

2012-01-09T20:41:00.000+10:30

My cousin from France is currently staying with us.

Today we went on the Port River Cruise and we were lucky enough to see some dolphins. I will be posting some new photos next week, but in the meantime I though you might enjoy a few more of my favorite from 2011.

The rider was ok but the horse had a leg injury which was attended to by the vet.

to take him back to the stables, for further veterinary attention.

When I started to use textures, my 'goto' edit was to select the texture that I thought would suit
the image and try out different blend mode till I was happy with the result.
I have learned a lot since then, but I still start out this way.

This image was processed with a 'Cut Out' Filter layer at 34% opacity,
then a 'Posteredge' filter at 48% opacity.
'pdap French Boudoir Blue' texture layer was added twice, both at softlight blend mode,100% opacity.

Another week has gone by...Only 7 weeks till Christmas.

Get your shopping done, or if you're like me, leave it to the last minute.

Ok here goes for this week's hunt.

1. Food

Nutritionist would not agree that this is food,

but these are the yummiest White Wings Drizzles chunkies choc chunk biscuits ever.

2. Purple

Queen's Gardens - Queenstown, New Zealand

The red tree grabs your eye, but I love the purple colors of the tree above the bridge.

3.Shapes

Taken on a photowalk in Adelaide.

4. In disguise

I had some trouble with this one till I thought about my favorite disguise.

That's me hiding behind my camera. The lighting is not the best and a trip to the hairdresser is definitely warranted.

5. Photographer's Choice

A lovely Pansy.

I have used a 'Sketch' action on one of my horse image.

What do you think?

The free action can be found here.
