Week #9 filters

 This original was taken one beautiful sunny morning, just as the sun was coming up.  I was slightly disappointed because the photo did not show the beauty of the sunrise.  So...I thought, this will be a good one to run through filters. 
 After trying many different filters, I simply fell in love with hitting just the Decor-Old Photo tabs.  That's it.  I know it still doesn't show the sunrise colors, like I thought I wanted to do.  In the end, I did almost the complete opposite of what I set out to do.
 This is the original for these photos.  I couldn't believe that both of my horse's eyes lit up because of the flash from my camera.  Again, I was slightly disappointed at my attempt to get a good picture, and decided to put this through the filters too.  I played around a lot with this one.
This is the process I used.  First, I added the "lens flare" and adjusted it to where I liked it.  Then, I added "fuzzy border.,"  then "despeckle." After that,  I couldn't get rid of his bright eyes, so I tried "oilfy."  Doing that took out the brightness in his eyes and made the fence wire disappear.

  2. Nice work, Trina! I used the "Lens Flare" filter for one of my photos also. It's pretty cool how easy it is to edit things like that so easily. I really like your first picture. Nice work.

  3. I like the picture of the horse. It almost looks like something that my niece would have painted. Making the tree picture look aged is great!

  4. Beautiful Horse! I liked that, looked like a painting of the horse! Could print it onto a canvas! :) Also I liked how you turned the first picture, a tree, into a old picture. Great effect.
