Wearing A Favourite: Shoes | Clothing | A Cosy Sweater
I'm still struggling with motivation to continue with this CY365, and I really didn't want to take yet another self portrait. So I let it go yesterday (which was the day the photo was supposed to be taken) thinking that today my post would be that I wasn't going to do this anymore.
Well I came home from my morning walk (6 degrees - not as cold as it has been) and thought I'd just take a quick photo with the iPhone and if it looked ok, then I'd post it. What I'm wearing is pretty much my favourite cold weather gear for our early morning walks. A nice warm beanie and a woollen scarf and you can't see the gloves. Actually this beanie and scarf have seen quite a lot of cold countries over the past several years - very well travelled favourites! I think the worst thing about cold weather and photography is the need to take my hand out of a nice warm glove to take the photo - especially when using an iPhone as it won't work through gloves.
I took about 10 or so photos and didn't particularly like any but did some processing to create a more artistic effect. This one was processed on the iPhone used Distressed Fx and then further refined in Lightroom. I then used Perfect Effects 8 to add the subtle border. I think I may have then touched it up again in Lightroom.
These ones are for you mum - I'm smiling. The first one was processed in Perfect Effects 8 and Lightroom, the second one was processed in Lightroom only. The second was taken from that angle to get the dogs in the photo. All are taken on the iPhone.
