I'm a college teacher (business computer applications, web design & now Photoshop) who loves photography, hiking, travel, downhill skiing and messing around with software! This is year 2 of my photo blog and I love learning more about my fellow bloggers, their areas of the world, and photography.
You are just as pretty as your photos and commments! It is nice to get ot know you a little better, Val. I love that photo effect too and will check out that book.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and result for a hub cap refelection, love your sketch.
ReplyDeleteOh!?!? I always thought you were a duck! I love the two different versions of you...
ReplyDeleteVal, these both are wonderful...the reflection in a hubcap is so creative and fun...and you perfected the sketch technique! Beautiful! Hey, now I will know who to look for when we meet LOL
ReplyDeleteBoth great efforts for the assignment, I particularly like the sketch up, great shot.
ReplyDeleteSo cool to put that well-known name and pretty face together! I don't see how you have time to do all that you do. I especially love the photo taken in the hubcap!
ReplyDeleteVal, Great shots! So your from or near the "Windy City". Both shots are really cool. Now we got a pretty face to go with the name. And your first one doesn't make you look like a hub cap:)
ReplyDeleteGood job teacher and great imagination. I really like the sketch technique and have added that to my learn list.
ReplyDeleteLove the hub cap image. Very well done. I have this vision of you crouched down taking this pic and then standing up to find a whole circle of people looking at you!!
ReplyDeleteYour sketch is beautifully done. Great effect.
That's one shiny hubcap to give you a reflection like that! What a nice way to satisfy the assignment. I like the sketch treatment too - very creative solution.
ReplyDeleteTwo very great photos. The reflection in the hubcap is very creative. The processing on the sketch is excellent. Next time I see you in Colorado, I'll know who I'm meeting.
ReplyDeleteVery fun shots Val. I love the sketch and hope to carry it around to find you in Chicagoland soon. I have seen Bill in a hubcap too, maybe that kraut is good for knees!
ReplyDeleteNicely done Val! The hubcap shot is wonderful fun.
ReplyDeleteJulie's comment is priceless ....

Seems it has all been said, Val. But I'll just vote on all of the above. Lovely photo(s) of you. It is always interesting to see what a person on the "other end" looks like. I think we all have envisioned the person by what they say and post. Pleasant surprises are always good. As Julie said: I thought you were a duck! :D
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI love that drawing, it's really good. Wish I had your camera your holding. Oh well, someday. Have a great day!

It's nice to "meet" you--I really like the sketch effect: it looks just like a pencil drawing.
