Yummmmmmm, Lychee!!




Oh, I got all excited last night after our Digital Club meeting at Grant's place. I had taken a few shots last week of lychee fruit (my VERY most favourite - to me, they're like potato chips - can't stop at one). Anyway tonight, with there not being anything good on the tube (is there really anymore?), I decided to spark up the ol' computer, and try some of the skills I learned last night. Now, my last night brain and my tonight brain have not yet meshed together, but I did manage to render this shot in PhotoShop. Thanx to a mag I borrowed from Jim, I learned the new skill of doing a two-photo effect. Not being fully versed in Photoshop (I keep saying that, don't I??), I probably added too much colour, and over-emphasized what shouldn't have been, but at least I'm experimenting with this most powerful tool - this is the end result. Yay! I managed to size the image for the web. Thanks Jim and Dan for that lesson, and thanks to Grant for the paper copy. So now, when I get a free minute, I'll have to do the same to the rest of my pics on this blog. Whew!
