Romance Continued

I most certainly have to be in the mood for romantic, frilly, soft photos. Very few tiny spots in my house reflect this style. That was not so in the 80s. I had lots of 'cabbage rose' florals in my house and a gorgeous antique pink and beige wool oval rug along with antique furniture in my living/dining room. Oh, those were such simpler times. Back when I even quilted by hand. I did clean out my garage yesterday and came across something that has given me some ideas (shooting romance).

Ok… back to the present! One of the prompts in The Studio Online was 'stacked', so I had a play with my Grandmother's crochet and some old books.

Textured wit kk_0216 plus kk_0216magic plus something else that gave it the border.

Can you tell Gentle and Dreamlike are some of my favorite Lightroom presets?

I thought about photographing my 'stack' of magazines I need to go through but figured that might give some of you a guilt trip, so I'll spare you those horrible emotions and just live with them myself. (No, I really don't have much of an issue with guilt. Besides, how can one feel guilty if they've just cleaned out the garage?)

The Lime Shoot

In our Be Still 52 class we were to shoot citrus and in The Studio Online class, the prompt was fruit or vegetables. I've been a bit busy with taxes and 'the folks' taxes so this will do for both. (Sorry about no movie Art Monday yesterday, I will be posting it later.) I took quite a few I liked on my Canon and a few on my iPhone, but here are a few faves.
The sun was just up and coming through the kitchen window. I have an island with barely enough room to walk around let alone shoot. I placed a black matt board on a chair for the backdrop as I shot toward the north and the ones to the south just ended up with a blurry background because I was too lazy to move it.
kk_gentle preset with kk_thursday texture.

No preset, just a few tweaks.

kk_chocolate preset, with a little noise reduction.

I really liked this angle. kk_within preset.

Shooting south, kk_gentle.

I preferred all the shots to be somewhat desaturated. I think it worked good with the dark moodiness of the early morning light.

It's Texture Tuesday at Kim's! Come over and check out what everyone's been up to!

Texture Tuesday Jan 27

Today would have been my Mom's 78 birthday. I made this to honor her.
Captivated Visions, Artified template. Painted art, mine.

In fact today I decided to wear one of her sweaters and a piece of costume jewelry that was hers. Can't believe she's been gone more than 30 years now. 


It's Texture Tuesday at Kim's...
Kim's preset kk_barelycolor with some added haze. I've really gotten on the haze bandwagon lately. I spent the past 48 hours processing photos from a family shoot this weekend and decided to play catch up from December's family photos too. I did quite a few with haze and I LOVE them. (More about that later.)


Two layers of kk_epic texture, linear burn and soft light both at 68% opacity. Word Art mine. (Words of Love in store) Can you relate to this one?
