Friday Finds Feb 28

I'm 'finding' my way back to doing a little homework this week.

The trouble is sometime I get carried away and can't stop. Just having too much fun I guess. Awhile back Kim had lessons for (1) logos in Beyond Beyond. I had made sketches a couple weeks ago and this week finally played and played and made some into brushes and then actions and started making Watermark presets in Lightroom to export with…. If you make one for the left, then right, and one in black , then white…. you could write a song…. It will take me forever to get all those presets made. I must narrow it down to my most favorites. Here's a shot of all of them. Since I do design work too that's really what started this. I was needing a new logo. That one's been decided on but, you'll be seeing a few random ones on my photos for awhile.
I've been watching (2) Creative Live Photoshop Week as much as possible this week. Loosing sleep to see missed parts. :( But if I don't try out a few things they will not stick in my brain. So I've been editing a few pics and that is also why I've been making watermark presets.
 Some more homework for 2B class. (My wonderful valentines present.)

(3) I love shooting flowers by the kitchen window. They always look like they want to go outside.

I should have cropped more off the bottom of this one. Funny how they sometimes look different after a few days.
(4) I found these cool dancers while driving through part of town I hadn't been in awhile. Shot from the car. I just happened to have my camera in the car and was stopped at a long red light. Note to self: go back.
(5) My poor artichoke's leaves all froze this winter, but while cleaning dead stuff away I found not only new growth but a covered up old flower that was full of seeds. Yes, it was time to dig out the Olloclip. Edited in Snapseed.
Linking up with Kim for Friday Finds and Nancy for Random 5 Friday.

  4. Your logo samples are just amazing! I love them, and the idea of a LR preset, that it a great idea - so much better than the default things. Good luck on the final one. Your week was very exciting and full of great photo ops. Love the vase in the light, with black background!

  8. Oh, I love your 2B exercise. {But I'm hanging my head in shame, so long it has been since I've been in the classroom. *sniff, sniff* } And your photos and facts are simply delightful. There is something magic about shooting flowers near a window and these are beautiful.

  11. Beautiful images, Roxi!!! And I like your watermarks so much - you're inspiring me to take the Beyond Beyond class! And thank you for the great tutorial in Watelogue and iColorama ... It is a great way to bring a bit structure and lines to the aquarelled picture.
    I'm curious - what do you mean by the presents (I always learn something new when visiting you over here ... )
