Photo of the Day (February 21, 2009)(Sorry so late!)

I went to the park down the street around sunset to try and capture some nice lighting on the lake there. Well, I couldn’t get to the stupid lake because I was wearing stupid flip flops and the stupid ground was not stupid friendly. In a slightly mopey manner,  I started trekking around on the slightly more friendly trail when I noticed the grasses (wheat grasses?) and decided to reevaluate my photographic purpose. Originally I was just going to use one good shot. Recently, I have been seeing textured pictures everywhere. I have briefly read some “tutorials” (in quotation marks because they amounted to crap) and seen some fellow photographers amazing results and decided that I would give it a try. I tried. The end result is just me playing around in photoshop without paying attention to the newer techniques I have picked up. I wanted to see what I could accomplish on my own merit. This photo is a combination of 3 photos. The orginal; sunset with some grass, blue corners, and black bottom. The 2nd shot: photograph of one wheat grass (coming in from right side of frame). The 3rd shot: close up of a rock wall. I like the outcome but definitely feel that I have more to learn. Oh yes, a lot more.
