with a bit of haiku too ...
This is my 2nd effort at Creative Photography
This week's theme is 'bridge' ... Original Photo - snapped with my
Casio Exilim point & shoot while attending
the 2007 Writers Retreat in Taos, New Mexico.
In the summer of
2007, I drove
myself to attend
a week-long retreat
where I daily walked across
the bridge pictured here
to attend sessions
with the other attendees
sev'ral times each day.
I decided to
experiment with filters on
this small wooden bridge
holding memories
of the people I met there
and the lessons learned ...
Photoshop Elements 6 Filters
Craquelure
Render - lighting effects from different directions
Invert

Isn't digital photography great! So many different pictures out of the same photo...
What neat variations of your original shot. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Wow, I love how you edited this photograph. Awesome.
Have a terrific weekend. Big hug. :)
I don't know how to do all those things with photographs, which is just as well. I'm sure I'd mess 'em up. Yours are delightful. I really like that bridge. Walking bridges are wonderful.
Looks like a beautiful spot to gather. Interesting to see the different effects of the filtering... I did a workshop in the high Mojave Desert in California which holds rich memories for me.
That looks like a lovely place to spend some time.
That last image is very creative! Happy photo hunting :)
These are fun! Think I like the 'render' ones. Great picks for The Hunt this week.
Thanks for dropping by for a visit.
Nice gentle bridge. I think I like the Craquelure.
Great variations on the theme! Like someone else mentioned, it is a great benefit of digital photography to be able to get so many different images from the same exposure.
The subject of your photo looks like it belongs in Taos. What a neat place to be. I like your variations.
I would love to walk across that bridge! Very nice how you changed the picture! Wonderful choice for the theme!
Sounds like a relaxing kind of retreat. Maybe I should try it!
Using the render treatment on the 3rd picture gives it a soft yet foggy feel to it.
Nice try outs of the different edits on a same picture! :)
Invert certainly leaves an impression.
Those are awesome!! I dig how your getting into the editing, I can not stop myself sometimes lol! :D
the bridge was a nice subject for your experiences, I love to do that too !
Good job...like them all
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
I especially liked the ones where you played around with the direction of the light--it was quite intriguing!
Boy was that a wonderful retreat! I wish I could go every year!
Looks like a gorgeous place. :) I love the last effect!
Thanks for visiting my hunt.
Nice bridge, looks like a peaceful spot. The last effect is cool.
Cool! I'll be this would have looked great in black and white too.
