Skater boy...

A quick update from the photo club meeting last night.  I was lucky enough to win some prizes:

1st place - For Arts Sake - 'Open Spaces'



2nd place - Enhance It - 'Got Air'



Even though I'm not really a modest person, and often I quite like my photos (especially the above!) I am always surprised when I get any places at the club meetings.  There are always so many entries and they're all of such a high quality that I have so much trouble choosing a photo to vote for.  That people would vote for my photos over some others is really nice!

oh wow - i just love that scrunched up overlay? on your top photo - stunning.

did you make that yourself? It is brilliant.

(and the photo is sensational too!)

Thanks Amanda. The scrunched up paper is just a jpeg photo that I add as an extra layer over the photo, and change the blending mode until I like the look (in most cases I find Overlay or Soft Light looks best for my taste).

I'm pretty sure that this was a texture that I got while doing Jessica Sprague's free class, might have been a link to a Flickr page or something? There's heaps of free ones on Flickr though that allow free usage.

Thanks for your comment!
