Yet another gnome pic. Similar to the last one I processed, but edited differently (some good old-fashioned selective colouring)
I haven’t been around much on wordpress lately, so apologies for not keeping up with people’s blogs. I’ve been a bit distracted with work and attempting to learn a foreign language (French for those who are interested!). My course has now finished (well until October) so I should have more time to dedicate to photography again – I just need to get out and take some pics!
I’ve also recently had a mini-disaster – the hard drive with my photo library on got completely wiped (don’t ask!). I lost some recent photo sessions and I also lost quite a lot of work done in Photoshop, which I had somehow failed to back up (though I still have the lower resolution end products stored on my Flickr account). The good news is that 99% of my photos are archived onto DVDs and all the work done in Lightroom (where I do most of my editing now) was backed up into a catalogue file that was stored on a different drive (phew!). Anyway, the moral of the story is back your stuff up regularly and systematically!!!
Sorry to hear that, Stevie. Glad you didn’t lose too much. Like the shot very much.
Great job in editing!
Great pic again, and, if I am honest, I hadn’t recognised the selective colouring until I read about it. I know what you mean about distractions getting in the way – Comment ca va, ta langue francaise? – sometimes I’m just hankering after that lottery win to get me out of the workplace! As Richard mentioned, really good that you didn’t lose too much, but a rule for us all! Back up, back up, back up! (Which reminds me…) 😀
Comme ci, comme ça 🙂
Haha! 🙂
Another great pic, Stevie. Like that red popping out from the hand and the shiny beard. I get a cold feeling from it as well. Not sure how to describe it. Yeah, I’ll go with cold. Anyway, fabulous job, as always.
