nature | Heather Cote...

second half…

I’ve begun using my son’s Sony camera and I don’t know if it has a panorama setting, so I took this photo in two sections, I can do a panorama shot with my iPhone but it was too cold for it that day…the sun was setting behind me giving the sky a beautiful look!

fun with photo manipulation…

Hmmmm…I”m new to the world of photography in this manner… I’ve taken photos all my life of family, my trips, jewelry to post…but…I’ve never taken photos to post on a blog for others to see!

On my new journey something I’ve been seeing in my travels around photography blogs is photo manipulation. The only program I have to work with my photos is Picasa…jewelry photos doesn’t require any special effects! Having said that I just learned I can do some very interesting photo manipulation with Picasa. I’ve added a few photos…it was fun to experiment…

This is the original, all I’ve done is crop it…I think the redishness is from the sunset behind me when I was taking this photos?

I’ve added a boarder & used the heat map setting…this one was fun!

I’ve used infrared film, lomo-ish, and added a boarder, mysterious!

I’ve used tint & saturation…love cobalt blue, so this is a favourite!

sunset behind…

I took this photo a couple of days ago…the same day I took the sunset…in fact the sunset is behind me in this shot…in case you were wondering, I have a fascination with trees, but I particularly love trees like this one, alone, naked without its leaves…

Merry Christmas everyone…may you have a safe, healthy, happy holiday season!

snow day…

Didn’t venture for a walk yesterday as it was a “snow day”. I went for my walk this morning…although the wind was biting when walking into it the sun was shining brightly, wonderful day for a walk! I’m adding a few photos today as I want to show how much snow we received in about 18 hours…I’m not a winter person so I’m not thrilled but I know those who were thrilled! The photo I posted yesterday morning gives you some idea of how little snow we had before our “snow day”…Environment Canada weather offices says we received approx. 24cm or approx. 9.5 inches of snow…give or take! Definitly more than I would like…
