Abandoned Train Tracks

Summer Break has started and my kids are now at a sports Camp every day. I have 5 hours by myself. Last time I had so many hours spending by my own was nearly 8 years ago.
I take this opportunity and go on exploring adventures with my Camera. I had always on my mind to check out abandoned Places. Firt stop I went to Train Tracks I have visited before, but that was like 3 years ago.
I do self portraits in those places because I want to try different kinds of things. Some of the places I have visited so far are a little to dangerous to go to with clients.
I started doing Photoshop Montages with Pictures. It is fun and I can refresh my Photoshop skills.

It took a while to get all the writing out of this Picture. 

Little Flower Fairy

I had some fun creating a new Fantasy Image.

This is Haily again. She made the perfect Fairy for this one. I made it Black and white because I took the Picture of the Flower first and I love how it turned out. I just felt like something was missing :-)

Photoshop Work: Butterfly Girl

This is a Picture that  I got from my Friend in Switzerland. She needed some enhancement Work done on it. First I enhanced the Contrast, Color, Depth and Vibrance on it and then I added something cute to it :-)
This is my Goddaughter Haily! I love her!

Lets put them in some snow

It was a lot of fun doing this mini Photo shoot. I bought a new black background and it was great to try it out.
I want to thank Matt and Angie for coming back to me for their Christmas Pictures. It was great to see Logan again!

The request was to do something special with a Family Photo. Something fitting for Christmas. Angie was joking when she said. yes, put us in a some snow without no jackets.
Well that was exactly what I did. And it turned out they both love it. Yes it must be very cold, but they look very warm and cozy together :-)

You know I could put them in a Snowstorm and they would still look this lovely!

Added Snow and Blue Background with Photoshop

 

Some Family Magic 

New Photoshop Creation

It was Time again to transform a Picture. I didn't got the Idea myself :-)...my dear Husband told me to try to change this Picture. He loved Oz's Jump from the Ship.
It took me 1 1/2 Hours to create this. The most difeclt thing to do was to get the other kids away from the Image and restore the Woodwork on the ship.

This is the Original Picture

starting to get away that Boy with the "Healing Brush Tool"

Boy is nearly gone

Girl in purple is always nearly gone and started to make Oz and the Ship a separate Layer with the help of the "quick selection tool". I added the second Picture behind the cut out Layer.

I made that second Picture Bigger, added a lens Blur to it in the back. I also took away all the rest of the remaining kids. That top part of the ship was the hardest part to restore. I had to paint the railing in.

At last I tuned the color a bit and added a more Natural Lens vignette to it.
