With coffee in one hand and camera remote in the other I took the long trip out to my backyard to grab a few shots of my early blooming Magnolia.  Spring has arrived a few weeks earlier here in Ohio but I’m not complaining!  Processed with Photoshop CS5, Nik Software Color Efex 4 and Silver Efex Pro 2.   Thanks for viewing – Vince

Fun with Photoshop Filters

This photo was taken last summer at Inniswood Metro Gardens, Ohio.  I decided to play around with Photoshop’s radial blur filter, layer masks, and Nik Software’s Color Efex 4 and Viveza 2.   I usually don’t use the gimmick tools photoshop has to offer, but when applied in the right manner the results can be quite pleasing.  Thanks as always for viewing!    - Vince

Decorating with Earth Tones

Macro Earth Tones

Macro Earth Tones

I received tremendous input from clients visiting my booth at local art fairs this past year.  One of the lessons I learned was that people generally prefer warm earth tones to complement their home or office decor.  You might have the best image on earth but if it doesn’t match one’s decor it’s usually going to result in a no sale!  I love bright and bold color combinations but in reality such colors may not work in many decorating situations.   Fortunately, earth tones abound in the landscape.  These tones may not pop out at you right away but with time you’ll learn to see many intimate shades in the landscape.   Thanks f0r viewing – Vince
