52/365 dill at night

Another nighttime shot from my garden. It's funny because I thought I had pulled all the dill last summer. But there was a LOT of dill in my garden and apparently I missed this one. Which turned out to be a bonus for me. I'm really enjoying this strange, ethereal brown tone of my garden images at night. It's certainly a very different look.

I mentioned having shot some things in my very dormant garden at night. This is another image from that evening. No editing, just straight out of the camera.

Fun With Photoshop

I've been in a big, huge photo rut. Just seems like there's not much catching my attention. I carry a camera around and look, but see nothing. Tonight my sister texted me to go check out the moon (which was awesome, btw, and yes, I got some shots). But when I was heading back in, I noticed that the dried leaves and flower husks in my garden had some light shining through from the motion-sensor light on our garage. Even though it was night, they looked very cool. So I grabbed a chair, plopped my tripod in the garden, and zoomed in to shoot.

This is one of my favorites. SOOC version.

A little dark, so I adjusted the levels a bit and I thought this one looked like it was in the bright sun.

Then I made one more adjustment to somewhere in between.

While I was in playing mode, I figured I'd throw on some Photo Veils from Love That Shot. The two I used are from the Botanical Collection.

First up is Bells-of-Ireland-lts, with Linear Light at 48% opacity. I like the way it looks like that could be some garden bokeh in the background.

Next up is Wintercress-lts with Linear Burn at 100% opacity. This was just kind of fun with the crazy deep gold.

What do you think? Which is your favorite?

48/365 moonlight

Handheld moon shots are always tricky, but the scene changes so fast that you often don't have time for any other options.

355-365 lunar eclipse

While not crisp, this is the best moon shot I've ever taken.

313-365 frozen tree

266-365 stop

264-365 night lights

205-365 night lights

204-365 sonic

44-365 night sky

I must apologize; the quality of this shot isn't so great. But when you see a lovely nightscape and only have a point in shoot in your purse, you get what you can. It would've been nice to have my Rebel and tripod, but such is life.

It's SOOC, btw, no post-processing.
