granted, this isn't quite as much fun as if i had photoshop, but i'm still doing some really cool work...and it is FREE. and it interfaces with my google on-line photo album so i can immediately upload my masterpieces and share them with you!
so without further ado, here is my first study. i'm quite proud of it. i took these fun pictures of people dancing at winfield last september. there was this great celtic folkish band called the david munnelly band. they were wonderful and there was this guy....

| From RANDOM PHOTOS |
who was not david munnelly, but he was in the band and he was beautiful and made all of the women swoon. seriously. well, in this shot he was singing some heart-breakingly lovely song about his homeland or a dead woman or something (you know how the irish are) and many people got up and started waltzing. it was...magical. it was a cool evening after a hot day and the warm kansas wind had died down to a gentle breeze. there was this lovely music and then...dancing. magical.
so i took these cool photos that, though i knew they were too dark, i also knew they had potential to be worked into something very special. so here is one of the originals....
from there, i had a little fun this afternoon. check it out.
this is after i cropped the random guy out of the right side and had some fun with the contrast and light.
this one has focal color/black and white.
this is with the filtered black and white.
sepia, of course.
and this is the soft focus and some more warming of the color. i really love this one because it looks to me like the couple is dancing as though the entire world has disappeared and it's just the two of them...as the jilted cowboy lover looks on.
you gotta love a dark, jilted cowboy lover.
so i hope you enjoyed this little bit of fun with me. i'm sure there will be more hot photos to come...
