Of Guilt and Inspiration

It's spring, and I'm feeling it.

There are so many little flowers blooming,

and it's inspiring me to tame more pictures.

I have to admit, though I take my camera practically everywhere,

I've been lacking a little on creativity.

So a little prick of guilt,

And a little taste of success,

And some spring fever mixed in there,

I'm more inspired.

I used a rain overlay from Carrie at "Captured by Carrie", and an action from The Coffee Shop Blog

I almost blamed it on winter.
You know, it being all bare and boring out there.
But, there's no excuse,
Because I can always find a still-life to shoot.

So, hopefully I'll be going through more pictures and keep myself motivated.

Blessings,

Rainbow Field Action

I am trying to learn Photoshop...It's going slowly, but progress is progress.  Yesterday I was so excited because I created my very own action!  I'm so excited that I decided to share it with you Photoshop-people (do I have any out there?) So here it is, along with a few samples.  The only problem is that the rainbow may be too dark depending on the photo you apply it to, so I would suggest adjusting the opacity of that layer (the very top layer) if you need to.  Oh, and on portrait oriented photos, the rainbow will have to be moved back into the picture.

Blessings,
