For this week's Texture Tuesday, Kim asked us to feature an image centered around "orange" and to use one of her textures (I used "vintage", at Soft Light/22%). I must confess, orange is not a color I'm normally drawn to. I don't have anything orange in my house (except for the fruit, in juice form...lol) and nothing orange in my closet. So I hope you'll forgive me going back to my archives and finding this photo of a gorgeous flower I took while in Hilton Head a few months back. (I still have so many vacation photos I never processed!) This prompt gave me a wonderful opportunity to finally edit this "flowerageous" image.
Thanks for stopping by - I apologize in advance if my posts are a bit sparse over the next several weeks. I'm taking an online Lightroom class (also by Kim) and it's taking up most of my spare time. Lightroom is a whole new world for me, and my head is spinning as I try to take it all in. Kim's Round Trip class is awesome and I highly recommend it! It's packed with information and I look forward to finally figuring out how it works so I can use it daily with all my photos. Do any of you use Lightroom? Its possibilities look magical...
Oh I love orange and this flower is gorgeous. I know very little about lightroom but would love to hear how you get on with it in conjunction with photoshop. Happy Tuesday. :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, soft processing - can't wait to see more photos from your trip!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya on orange. I do see a whole lot of pumpkin photography in my near future tho, haha. Have fun with your class, can't wait to see the results :)
ReplyDeleteI'm also not usually an orange fan, but seeing all the images in the Texture Tuesday this week makes me think I might need to reconsider! Love this image.

ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work! Lightroom is awesome, just take what you need from it, there's always more ways to use it, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI have lots of orange in my house, probably because I love earth tones. I would it is probably more rust colored than bright orange. Love your flower.
ReplyDeleteI am pleased that I can admire such unusual view. I am greeting
