Challenge..... November 21-23.......Postcards
Sher
Loc: Colorful Colorado
I love receiving a handwritten card from a friend or loved one... Seems like we have gotten away from that, so when it happens it is always such a special treat... It doesnt have to be just for the holidays... Just something saying "I'm thinking of you"
As photographers we are always looking for ways to share our art and postcards or greeting cards are something I love to give as a gift. I also have some in a local breakfast spot that are for sale.
They can be simple, or as elaborate as you choose..... There are so many creative ideas...Many you've done this week.. Layering, sepia, adding color...... Whatever you choose to creatively express your thoughts.
In this first one I downloaded the originals to lightroom because I shoot in raw... I tweek the exposure, clarity a little and then open it in photoshop.. I always crop to the size I am going to print before I get creative... I cropped this one to 7x5
Then I opened it in smart photo editor and enhanced the sky, added lomo...and then chose artistic media... When I was done I took it back to photoshop and layered a moon shot that I took.... Finally I added the text....

This second one I didnt do a lot of work to...
I tweeked the brightness a litte.... Re sized it and then added a pop of sun flare to my already flaring sunset.... Then I added a creative border and the text
Cant wait to see what you come up with... I hope you have fun with it
Both are very nice. Do you do your own printing?

No... I usually print cards and postcards from moo.com... I also print from a local camera shop

Thanks for the challenge, Sher. I've got an appointment to get a new knee tomorrow early, but I'll be looking in.
