Free Filters!

I am testing the waters again. I miss being a photographer. And, I have discovered, that in doing it on my own, versus for a boss, I get to do what I want. I like that.I have also noticed that a lot of what is out there on the internet isn't necessarily posed really well, (I am a stickler for hands, head tilts, and no crotch shots...), but the focus is on the editing. I think that if I could master both, I might get a more solid grasp on both what I want (a solid, stand on its own image) and what the customer wants (something cool to look at).So I found some free photoshop filters online yesterday. And I love them! I like the idea of free, that is something I can afford right now! And I also like the different filters that were included.... So this is a picture I took of Avery on Sunday while we were out in the yard repairing fence for our two new heifers. And this is with a grunge filter and vignetting. Love it.
And here is another one from Sunday. I walked into our yard from the north side of the barn, ( a place I rarely go.....) and this is what I saw. I loved it just how it was, but why not play around with it too! So this is the original.... And this is after I applied an old photo filter to it.... I love that I can manipulate the damage of the photo, and play around with edges and borders. Too cool....

TFL!

Love these. The tricycle one is gorgeous, especially with the filter.

These are great, Kim! But you didn't include the site where you got the filters! I would love to know. The Totally Rad filters are totally cool, but also totally out of my price range.
