heart filter/special effects
*
i made a really fancy filter for my nikon 18-105 lens
with blue construction paper and scotch tape.
i found a tutorial here on how to create heart shaped ‘bokeh’ (out of focus light).
my first attempts didn’t work at all, but i had lots of fun
and i like the results.
picture me…
on my front lawn, 9 o’clock at night, my camera set to 200 ISO
spinning in circles to create streams of light.

then i used duo tones in picnik to play with the image.
i’ll keep practicing. the process is fun.

This is reminding me of when we stayed in a hotel near CHLA for Bella’s surgery - munching on pizza and trying to be quiet while she’s sleeping.
Our prayers are with you…

I love these images! Very inspiring! I love all of your work and I especially love the necklaces with the birds and bird cages…stunning! I actually found you here http://kari-youcanmakeit.blogspot.com/ and saw that I could enter to win the monogram necklace. It’s gorgeous! I am a little unsure where I am to leave the comment and hope this is correct. I will keep my fingers crossed
Blessings to you and your family…may the warmth of light surround and comfort you all during this time.
Silly question on another topic. Did you make the little eye band that Matty wears with his cape or did you purchase it? It is so cute.
We’re sending you all our healthy thoughts and wishes. Hoping David is back soon!

I hope all goes well with your son. Also, I love the heart filter effect, very clever.
I am a huge fan of your creativity with photography. When I began my studies in photography I tried using lots of different techniques with hearts and shapes. I used a 35mm and did all my work in a dark room so the techniques are a bit different in using digital, which I need to learn. I am so inspired how you are learning this all on your own and your photography skills are just gorgeous.
Also, I have been following what you have been going through with your little boy. He is so precious and I am sending lots of good thoughts and white light to surround him and your family.
Your photography is breath taking, I love all the creativity you do! Your jewelry is fantastic, I will be sharing the site and dropping hints for upcoming holidays!
my family also offers our thoughts and prayers that your son gets the help he needs and quickly! he is a cutie and looks like he is full of life.
Lisa —
Thinking of you and hoping that things went well today! Sending you hugs.
