Day 19/365

Well, just about back on track after yesterday's 12 shift. I do them every week but yesterday just seemed a monster for some reason. I had a real non day today, I just couldn't get going. It's 11:00 pm, I've just had a beer and I'm coming awake just in time to go to bed. Typical. There is a stunning full moon tonight and it's a real clear sky so I really should be outside getting some shot's. I've got an idea for a full moon shot that I've been meaning to try for a while now but I've not really had a good shooting night. Maybe I'll get some shots before bed...maybe not, I've just checked,  it's -5 celcius outside.

Today's post was from my archives. It was taken when we had a real heavy fall of snow a couple of weeks ago. Some photoshop treatment (levels, colour, glamour blur & sharpen) I know that sounds strange. Why would you give a shot a glamour treatment (blur & soften) especially a landscape and then sharpen it. It sounds real daft, but I've found that if you use this technique on landscapes it gives them a real dreamy feel. It is one of my trademark tweaks in Photoshop. Oh yes, I added an icy looking frame effect too. Anyhoo, here's a before & after. I'm off now for a coffee and a bit of wind down before bed. See ya
