Mono Monday #16 Plus

Jul 27, ‘08 9:49 PM for everyone

The rules for Mono Mon are pretty simple.Well I hope they are anyways. these are the steps and guidlines and are subject to change as we work the kinks out of this. This is the page to post your link after you have your end results.  

1.   Choose your color image (one only) 

2.   Do your conversion to one of three types that will be accepted Black and White, Sepia ,”Sepia Example” Or 
      Black and White with a single hand painted (digitally painted) color. See ”Hand Painted ”  

3    Take notes on what processes and steps, programs used, anything that contributed   in
      making the final image.

4.   Write your blog. when finished and happy with it bring it to this page and post your link      
      only (no images) Also things to remember is to keep your title as short as possible long
      long links tend to wreck the right rail allingment on the owners pages.

5.   After link is posted start visiting and seeing all the wonderful shots  and
       techniques being shared.

6.   Posting will close on Tuesday so we can all ready ourselves for “Picture Perfect Friday”

Feel free to ask questions

Wind & clouds… 7-28-08

Wind & clouds… 7-28-08

Jul 28, ‘08 10:37 AM for everyone

The weather is supposed to be very hot again but it stayed cloudy with light rainy. It stayed much cooler & quite nice, just some high winds. The weatherman has also forecast us to be cooler on tuesday. Cooler meaning low 90s instead of upper 90s. Obviously their idea of cooler & my idea of cooler do not come close. I spent the afternoon in Salina having my hair cut/coloured/styled. I should have my hair done more often. It looks better. And it is nice to be pampered for a short time. On the way home I bought some BBQ’d beef for supper. A place in town, Hickory Hut, has the best beef ever. We had fresh roasting ears for lunch. One of the few good things about summer.  Be well, do good work, keep in touch! “A feeling of sadness and longing that is not akin to pain, and resembles sorrow only as the mist resembles the rain.” - Longfellow
