When you see leading lines, a red barn and a windmill AND you have your camera along on the ride....you turn around. 1st image was my drive by image, second was walking up and putting my lens through the gate. I think it was worth the u turn on a narrow country back road.

I've been looking through all my Huntington beach Photos and while doing it ran across 10 photos that showed girl surfers. The skills of the girl surfers have increased over the years.
Please download these for best detail.


Nice images! I love the angle on #4...curious how you achieved it. Drone shot?

Rockdale County Covered Bridge, 4400 Haralson Mill Road, Conyers, Georgia....built in 1997....the first of its kind to be built in Georgia since the 1890’s....150 feet long and 36 feet wide....open to the public.

Taken with a Nikon 16-85 on a Nikon D7100.


Amazing set, esp the last one. I love the light pattern created by the lattice work. I prefer the landscapes but love what that beautiful sky adds to the images also.

Edit PS: I am going to echo pulling back on the HDR just a tad. Great images!

Where has everyone gone?


I am partial to photo number two and the feeling of peeking through the tall grass at the abandoned home. I always become curious about past lives, who lived there and what their life was like. On another note, I hope it is safe...my childhood best friend lost her younger brother to an unstable abandoned building...kids will be kids and some adults too!

A search for ‘free fog brushes’ will bring up brusheezy.com, who let you download quite an array of yummy looking fog brushes Diane. Hope this helps the quest.


Ooh I have heard of that one! Brushes are new to me, I mostly use the standard stuff. Time to learn some new stuff! Thanks for all the help...really appreciate it.

Phlearn.com definitely do a mist and fog tut, and it comes with a free brush that I’ve used with some success. Mist and fog is the search you need Diane.


Thanks I will take a peak at Phlearn too...he is quite helpful with his tutorials but sometimes charges for them. I dont make money, so I try to stay in the free zone whenever possible. This hobby gets expensive real fast if you arent careful.

I typed "photoshop how to make breath." A photo of steam rising from a cup of coffee showed up and others. Haven't watched any:

I also remembered who it was I've seen use similar on UHH: Dave Chinn (I had thought magnetoman ). See one of Dave's here. He's not on UHH a lot anymore, but you could pm him.

Here is one from "photoshop how to make steam" search:

Diane, Linda has given you a good steer on the method - and you’re making good progress. You should be able to find a more suitable breath brush online, there’s lots of free stuff out there. Alternatively you could make your own from a suitable image such as clouds and, again, lots of free tuts on brush making (I have a feeling Linda put something up a short while back). Always use a separate layer when trying these things so you can dump it if it’s no good.
Another way of achieving it may be to find a cloud image and use it directly, at reduced opacity.
Fog is one of the things that can be more difficult to get just right, so it’s realistic. Don’t worry if it takes a while, I’m sure you will get there.

Thanks Magnetoman. I have looked online for breath and fog etc and I can find minimal pictures but nothing has been helpful. I havent had time to try making the brush yet but I think that may be a good solution, or at least I am hopeful. Yes, separate layers or a new stamp layer that can be deleted, and apparently it is going to take a while...I am still dealing with tax prep paperwork and have another shoot from this past weekend with my Mom and Sister to edit. For the past several years I drag them out to a flower field and do pictures for Mother's Day gift to my Mom. My Sister will be traveling the entire month of April and I wanted to get something before she left, if I get more later fine but at least I am covered. Good thing we had some flowers!

PS Maybe I am not searching for the right terminology...breath vapor, does not bring up a great selection of anything. Any other suggestions on terminology to use would be great.

How about this one on making your own fog brush:

Here is one note on snow I had in a Google doc (words are from the OP via pm awhile back):
http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-435882-1.html
I did the snow with a very soft round brush set at various sizes and at a very low opacity so the result was fairly translucent. I used a white color just a bit lighter than the sky & snow. I repeated brushing in layers of the 'snow' until I got the thick and thin swirly snow I wanted. Then I used the clone tool and a larger brush at a very low opacity & circled it over the entire effect to blend in any visible hard edges. I cloned darker areas into lighter ones and visa versa if necessary.

Thank you! I had not even considered the brush tool...I will def look and see if I can use anything here!

Still working on this one and struggling. I need to add the big snowflakes and I cant get the breath fog to where I am happy with it. I have googled but cant find anything helpful...

I’m new to this forum. Thanks for the invite Linda. I’ve known how to change backgrounds and some other basic manipulations for awhile, but this is my first attempt to create a work of art using six different images. I’m really hoping for some instructive feedback. I look forward to seeing your work and sharing mine as my skills progress. Thanks, Dick


Awesome news, congrats on your achievement!

They are beautiful. Tough for me to get good feather detail-they tend to look "plastic" in many of my pictures.


I like the sleek look of the bird in the photos.
