54/365: Roadside Discoveries

I found myself doing some more drive-by shooting--the photography kind, naturally! And yes, the kids were napping in the mini-van again. For the farm structure, I didn't even get out of the car (I shot these from the driver's side, through the passenger window. Talk about armchair photography!). I'm really enjoying this Project 365, particularly because it's forcing me to experiment with post-processing. For the textured one, I know it's a bit crazy but that's what happens when I play around a little too much.

great job with the editing, hmmmm hands free cellphones only, no texting, no eating, I haven't read any law about no photography while driving! Keep up the good work.

I like all of these...Love your homor! LOL. The textured one is interesting, almost like an old drawing on bark that is starting to peel off.

Ohhh, I love the first picture! We have a lot of fun old barns and houses in this part of the world, and I keep thinking I need to take some pictures of them too, so you've inspired me to go hunting, I mean shooting, I mean out taking pictures of them.

Ohhh!! I L.O.V.E these all!! That middle one is just beautiful! Would you mind sharing your PP on that one?

Tracy: Edited in LR3. First, I used a preset from One Willow (Violet Fields), the change was subtle. I still had to go over the farm structure with the adjustment brush and upped the clarity, sharpness and saturation. Then I applied a subtle vignette.
