A Few More Pics - Same effect

I was playing with a few more of my pics using the same filter.













CS2

I have been busy playing with Photoshop CS2. I bought a book that tells you how to do things step by step. Is is the Photoshop CS2 book for digital photographers, and I think it is great. Helps me out a lot because I love trying to do different things with my photos instead of just using the original shot.


Here are a couple I have played with.

The first one I burned the edges, that gave the pic the black effect around the edges. It was also very foggy when I took this photo.



These I used Creating Drama with a Soft Spotlight. It focuses on 1 part of the photo, then darkens the rest. I thought it was cool.


This my Ladybug. I took this this summer while picking my green beans.



This was one of my many Roses that I have every summer.

Road Trip

Now mind you I have driven Interstate 5 both ways mannny times and have seen mannny road signs. You know, Mt Ashland, Canyon Creek, Days Creek, Hayes Hill and so on. Now there is this one that has a unique name, I have passed it mannny a time and never thought a thing about it, but as I was heading up the interstate going to the work site about a month ago, it just jumped out at me. I asked Teri if she had ever noticed the mile post number before, of course she said no. I don't know if every state has mile post signs or not, but as I said this sign just jumped out at me, I guess I should pay more attention as I drive, I am usually talking and singing along with the music. OK OK the name on the sign said Sexton Mt Pass, which I had seen before, but had never paid any attention to the mile post number on same said sign. Anyway who names a Mountain Sexton? Someone in Oregon did. Well this is a pictue of the sign I took the last time I drove over Sexton Mt Pass.

Cowinkie dink or not. You decide, but I hope you get a good laugh out of it.
