Photos of the Week - Week 41
Critique Group Challenge: Week 41, Hands of Time Photo by Debra Russo Click to view a larger image Debra says: I switched my photo theme to "time worn hands". I dislike the look of my hands. They are discolored from blood thinners, they constantly have cuts on them because my skin is so thin that even rubbng hard against a surface causes bleeding. They are covered with small white scars from some of the worst cuts. When I have pictures taken of me, I photoshop my hands whenever possible. I once thought I hated my hands, but I don't. How can you hate the hands that rocked the cradle, that soothed the sick, that planted the garden? Despite having arthritis my hands are still strong enough to hand sew, hand quilt and do my much loved sashiko stitching. I can still do everything I could when my hands were young, except maybe open the pickle jar myself! The item I am stitching in the photo is a boro scarf I started at the last quilt show in Houston before Covid. I think it's time to keep that needle in my hands and get it finished. |

Smart Phone Challenge: Week 41, Sunrise Photo by Ricky Tims Click to view a larger image. Ricky says: It’s almost too much to describe. We didn’t have any sunrises, so finally on Sunday I went and got some paper and drew with colored pencils. I took a photo. Then I took the photo in the prisma and did two or three different filters on that. Then I took the image into Distressed FX and added distressed layers one of them surprisingly created the sun. I also added the birds in that filter. It was a lot of fancy foot work. I use Snapseed to lighten some areas. Hope you enjoy my unexpected sunrise

Critique Group Challenge: Week 41, Hands of Time Photo by Ricky Tims Click to view a larger image. Ricky says: This is 10 photos of my antique clock. Each one rotated a bit when taken then each layer in Photoshop had an opacity change. Similer to what we do for Pep Ventosa. I put one layer on top that had more "clock face". Cropped Square - then flattened. Then I used the Sperize filter to warp it all. |
