Supply For Shyna – A Bad Photo Improved


If you have Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom, I highly suggest that you don´t delete any photo just because it looks bad. Often you can really make something out of it. This article here is basically written to make some notes for myself but also for people who are into Photoshop and Lightroom and want to read about possible techniques or who want to get inspired by my workflow. For all others it might not be easy to read. The image above is the result after working on the very bad quality original image that I took of my cat … Continue reading Supply For Shyna – A Bad Photo Improved

Grand Master of Kitty Order


I thought it´s time again for a new meme. I was a little bit inspired by Star Wars and the character Master Yoda who said “Secret, shall I tell you? Grand Master of Jedi Order am I. Won this job in a raffle I did, think you?”. I did annoy my cat a little bit with a towel and took a photo. I thought she was looking like a Jedi Master and searched for a nice Star Wars quote, to put it in the image. My original photo was really a crappy shot, so that I didn´t expect much of … Continue reading Grand Master of Kitty Order

Photo Gallery: New Sand Lizard Photos


I wrote already about the Sand Lizard on my blog and published a photo in the article. But I had the chance to take some new photos of a Sand Lizard, because we were in Salem yesterday, a beautiful place with intact nature. It is quite easy to find Sand Lizard´s in Salem. Grandma and grandpa have a caravan site there in Salam and grandpa told me that the Sand Lizard´s are everywhere in the bush behind the fences. This was my chance to take new photos of this beautiful reptile and he was right. It took not much time … Continue reading Photo Gallery: New Sand Lizard Photos

Fence Wire On Dark Background


I have edited one of my images with Photoshop and you can see the results above. I tried to take a close-up shot of fence wire. I especially liked the moss on the wire. The only thing I changed with the image is that I did darken the background. I said it before, I like dark backgrounds and I am not really sure why. Maybe because it can create a focus on the subject. Here is the original image that I shot with my digital camera… Continue reading Fence Wire On Dark Background

Black And White Cat, Slightly Monochrome


When I took photos of my cat Shyna, she started to play with the strap of my digital camera. I really had to laugh but at the same time I realized that it would be the chance to get some funny shots. I will upload some of them over time. But I start with the one above. I edited the image with Photoshop and added a monochrome effect. But then there is also the original image… Only sad thing is that it seems that there were hairs on or near the lens. It looks like if there would be two … Continue reading Black And White Cat, Slightly Monochrome

My Cat And A Black Background


I have chosen one of my cat photos and loaded it with Photoshop. I wanted to get rid of the background behind my cat Shyna. I also changed the whole image to black and white because recently Leanne´s Monochrome Madness Challenges and her participants inspired me to experiment. Ok, I must admit that black and white effects have not much of an effect if your subject in the photo is a black and white cat and if you recolored the whole background to black too, but it´s still somewhat interesting. Here I applied a black and white adjustment layer and … Continue reading My Cat And A Black Background
