I finally had my camera handy when one of our little friends visited the hummingbird feeder.
The perfect subject for playing around with my photo editing software.
Here's the colored pencil version...
...and the watercolor version.
Coming in for a landing in color...
...and in Antique mode.
It kind of looks like Dorothy landing back in Kansas after being in Oz!

Being shy, with her back to the camera.
She sure doesn't look shy in this psychedelic negative version.
Moving so fast she's literally a blur!
Playing around with hue & saturation...
... is kind of like eating chips. You can't do just one!
Sammy was just a few feet away, chowing down on a peanut...
I think he'd approve of this watercolor version.
I love my old cement garden statue of Mary, but this photo isn't so hot. Clearly my inexpensive point & shoot camera just doesn't cut it for far off subjects...
... but I rather like the chalk version!
Ditto for the flower box - not a very impressive photo on its own.
... but much more appealing in a colored pencil format...
... or a watercolor format!
I hope you all have a colorful week!
This week I'm joining Mosaic Monday at Little Red House ,
Tweak It Tuesday at Cozy Little House ,
and the Cottage Garden Party at Fishtail Cottage

I like antique mode. We are virtual slaves to a gaggle of hummers here.
ReplyDeleteI love your photos! I want to play, too! I think I'll see what I can do with some of my beach photos! Enjoy the week ahead!

ReplyDeleteI've never managed to get a photo of a hummingbird but I did hold one in my hand this summer. It was trapped in a shed and wearing itself out. When it landed on my hand, I slowly walked it to the door, without letting out my breath! ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I love the watercolor version of Sammy!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun to play with photos? How great to capture a hummingbird - they're so fast.
