Well I'm not longer doing weekly posts, but I'm keeping the blog open because I find writing this gives me new insights into what I want out of my pictures. I have become a lot more active on Flikr (thanks to my husband buying my a pro account for christmas) One of the groups I've been a member of for a while now is the weekly photoshop competition and I have been entering the weekly competitions from time to time, if I have an idea for the starter image and I have enough time to get it done. I'm also learning a lot of editing doing this, mostly through trial and error, but also by looking at what other people do and seeing new techniques.
One thing I've seen a lot, but never really managed to do satisfactorily before is apply textures to an image. Not that its particularly hard to do, but there are so many textures out there and to get exactly the effect you want.... well lets just say I'm still finding it quite challenging. Which is why I'm so happy with this image. It was almost accidental, because I was absolutely sure the second texture I've got on here would mess the whole thing up, but it didn't and I like the paintery feel of it.
I also did another one just for fun - those of you who know the new(ish) My Little Pony will recognise Pinky Pie in her element :-)
Until next time. Oh and happy new year or something like that.
