Theme  ;  Challenge TheThreeMuses  / VINTAGE.

 

I had a hard time coming up with a idea for this theme

and actually this is my second piece.

I didn't threw the first one away but I wanted to share a more personal image with you which I thougt would suit this theme also.

When I was recently in the states, we also visited the Amish people in Pennsylvania. Their "vintage" way of life intrigues me and I loved meeting these kind people.

I took this photo of my DH Johan when we bought some fruit and drinks in the store and after we visit their bakery and stables as well.

Because we couldn't pay with our creditcard, Johan (still struggling with the foreign currency) opened his purse and the nice lady was so helpfull to grab the money by herself.  LOL

*****************************************

To give this photo an even older look, I followed a tutorial again.

Named ; the Nashville effect which you can find → HERE ←

Ofcourse it would have been easier to use a free online Photoshop Action

but than it would have been no challenge to me !!

It looks rather vintage don't you think ?

If only Johan had worn a farmers shirt !!  :-))

Theme; Challenge The Digital Whisper.
What have i done ;
I've made a Before and After piece and kept the lay-out simple just to emphasise (or is 't emphasiZe ??) the differences that i've made with photoshop.

Theme ; Before and After.
There are times , when i'm search the internet for a image, that Mr. google suprises me with the most unexpected sites ! So happened it recently that i discovered the art of Donald Zolan by big5.wallcoo.com
I had never heard, or had read of him, but at the first moment that i saw his paintings, i felt from my chair.
I had to create a scenery with a piece (the girl) of his art, so i downloaded two.
It was so much fun and this is the result. (Click to enlarge.)
