In Light



I purposely blew this one out and I really like the end result. It was supposed to give a "heavenly" feeling, or like in heaven.

Layout


 
 
 
 
 

I feel that it's more powerful to present my photos in a layout. Looks more professional, haha. I had cropped these photos to suit the layout. It's amazing how flexible they appeared in the end.

Experimenting With PS Part 2



 

 I'm experimenting with something called the Orton effect. The top photo is a regular photo without effects. The one below has the Orton effect. Actually this photo doesn't make a good example haha, but you should be able to see some differences.



"Have fun."
