August Break 2011 – Day 29

I decided I needed some “me time” last night, so I took myself out on a date. I started with some driving around taking photos, stopped for some dinner, chai and journal writing, and then finished off with a trip to the bookstore. It was delightful. Anyhow, whilst out and about, I drove by this flash of red – and discovered a beautiful grove of trees nestled in a nearby neighbourhood. I got out and shot a billion photos of the sun setting behind the trees and managed to get a few I liked in spite of the intermittent cloud cover and silly strong wind.

Edited in Rollip, vintage page, BR effect. Nolaroid frame added in Pixlromatic.

Edited in Picnik, colours neutralized and ortonish effect applied. Sloppy frame added in Pixlromatic.

Edited in Pixlromatic, using the antonio filter and rustic frame.

I love how each of the different effects captures a different mood of the grove. Pretty cool… But I guess that settles it. Fall is pretty much here, huh? *le sigh*

  1. Love your shots…cool effects. I do pretty much the same thing when I need some “me time” journal, bookstore, over-priced beverages, walk with my camera. I loved doing August break, even I joined late, and did not do it every day.
    Cheers,

    1. Thanks, Leah. I am really enjoying all the effects too – I don’t know if I’ll be able to stop using them…. 😉
      “Me time” is so important, isn’t it?
