Over at the Studio Sublime this week Sally has asked us to look at and capture the beauty all around us. One thing I absolutely love is the mixture of dark, brooding skies and bright sunshine, and with the storms and weather we've been having lately it's been happening rather a lot. I captured this photograph at Lymington harbour, and added a Pixel Dust texture to it.
Diana, that is a really great shot and I like the effect of the pixel dust.
ReplyDeleteYou have captured a beautiful moody scene, Diana. I don't know anything about using digital effects but the Pixel Dust effect looks great.
ReplyDeleteI love that moment when you get a brightly lit foreground against a dark grey moody skyscape.
ReplyDeleteGreat pic!

What a stunning photo!! Truly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely... my husband is chomping at the bit to get his boat in the water! But it's usually all alone in the cove!
ReplyDeleteYour picture looks like a Flemish painting of troubled seas, I can feel the storm brewing - quite beautiful effect!
ReplyDeleteVery moody! I love Lymington.

Oh how I love anything to do w/sail boats and your photo is no exception!! Awesome capture. Cool texture and edit, too!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I wish I could go out on one of the boats! And that pixel dust effect is great.
ReplyDeleteWell, whatever Pixel dust is, it made this picture look like an oil painting! Great job.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the calm before the storm. I can imagine standing there watching it roll in.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot Diana x
That's a gorgeous picture. I love how the texture makes it almost look like a painting.
ReplyDeleteNice editing and that sky is amazing. That looks like one busy harbor!
ReplyDeleteBusy but lovely shot. That's quite an interesting sky!
ReplyDeleteI just love that combination as well, a dark sky with some sun sneaking in under it to light things up. This pic is absolutely beautiful - that sky is amazing!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful picture, Diana.
ReplyDeleteHope you are OK. Haven't seen you around lately! Missing you!

Hi Diana - thank you for your lovely comment on my blog - so uplifting and encouraging! Thank you for your good wishes for my hubby's retirement - I laughed at your remark about getting used to having yours around 24-7 because today, the first day of his retirement, mine is out all day! It's like Business as Usual lol!!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear you've been going through some stuff recently, and I hope all will be resolved soon and you will soon be back among us, sharing your quite wonderful work with us again! I am glad you found my most recent post helpful - I loved Jennibellie's encouraging video and wanted to make sure as many people as possible got the chance to see it, and take on board its very important message. We all need a reality check sometimes, don't we!
Chin up, honeybuns, and looking forward to hearing that you are feeling your old self again!!!
Hugs,
Shoshi x
