Looking Out

Looking up from my desk to find unexpected raindrops smiling at me 
~ makes me smile, makes me happy~


Photobucket


My sweet bloggy friend over at Bonnie5 is hosting her first *Touch-up Tuesday*
and in that honor I'm going to display the SOOC and then walk you through the steps of my editing
.
This is not the photo I originally planned for this but I'm all into vintage and antique look these days so the bright and happy photo idea got chucked!

This is the original that I took yesterday afternoon. Hmm, pretty boring, right?

  1. I brightened the picture in Photscape
  2. Adjusted the color temperature more towards yellow
  3. Added sepia filter
  4. Added film effect - cinema high
  5. Added clip frame 02
  6. Splashed the watermark and DONE!

Go check out other entries and join the fun!

  3. Love a rainy day. A million years ago I lived in a house with a tin roof and my favorite thing in the world was to sit there and listen to the drops coming down...

  5. Oh my goodness...LOVE it! I'm totally into the vintage look too lately. This is fantastic! I'm in love with that film effect you used; it's giving your photo such a cool look. I don't have that look in any of the actions I use, so I'm off to research, because it's awesome! Thank you so much for joining in! :-) Have a great one! ;-)

But who cares! I'm going to eat some ice cream now and not worry about it. ha! Thanks again for visiting! Love your photography!

My photo
I started blogging only after my twin boys turned a year old. Here I am recapturing the special moments and attempting to create new ones that make my life even more amazing. Why I didn't start before this? Well, I was busy traveling and discovering the fun life with twins and also catching up on my sleep when I got the time.
