Photography by Clemens
My husband was up bright and early both mornings this weekend to catch the frost on the ground before it melted. I, on the other hand, was sitting at the kitchen table in my fuzzy old bathrobe and slippers watching him.
Dressed in heavy jacket, hat and scarf, he was kneeling on the ground to get these shots of ice crystals on weeds and scattered leaves. At one point, he hung the camera from the bottom of the tripod to get it closer to ground level. Wonderful patience, a new camera and lens and a life-time of photographic experience really paid off. I just love these photos and hope you will too.
Since I wasn't out there kneeling in the frost with Clemens I didn't have any recent photographs for my weekly Beyond Layers Homework in Kim Klassen's class. (Yes, we can use earlier photos but I just couldn't seem to find the right one. Our homework this week was to take a photo and using photoshop give it a "painterly" effect using adjustment layers and textures.
So it was off to the local arboretum with Clemens this morning to start shooting. In the end I chose a colorful floral shot. My aim was to give it an a painterly effect similar to those that I've seen on old cracked and crazed paintings that I've found in antique stores. Here's the results.

- I'm a scrapbook addict. I've been involved with digital scrapabooking since July 2009, when my daughter introduced me to her favorite hobby. When I'm not scrapbooking (hmm, when exactly is that?), I'm enjoying life with my family including my two daughters and two grandsons, my husband Clemens and my Cavalier Spaniel, Vinnie. My hobbies include photography, reading, biking, and hiking.
