I took some photos of my rusted up lantern, and my halfway there rusted up wind chimes. I really like the aged patina, it took a long time for that to happen. They hang outside in my garden, and I like to photograph them through the seasons. Winter with snow on them, summer glistening in the heat.
Somehow I missed a little piece of "bird offering" that was smack dab in the middle of it. And until I processed the shots I never saw it.
So I just used the retouch tool in Picassa to fix it up,and most of it is gone. If I had spent more time you could never know that there had been a bunch of ......"ahem" on it. Made me wish we could do this in real life that easily.
Got too many bills this month? Just retouch them, bingo, all gone. The dishes are still in the sink from the other day? Retouch!
If only this was real life, think of all the fun we could have.
Sign me up for some "work". Actually I wouldn't have even seen the stuff had you not mentioned it. That is why you are the professional and I am the hack.
ReplyDeleteCrossing the bridge today to get some fresh produce. Krause's I think.

ReplyDeleteI would use "presto" on my weeds!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the lantern and wind chimes.
Jen it really would be nice to just "touch up' some of the clutter in our lives. Oh well! dreams are free.
ReplyDeleteKudos Jen ... great thought!
ReplyDeleteOh I could use a little retouching myself like my hair, and maybe a few wrinkles..LOL.. Have a great day! Your lantern looked good even if it was a bit poopy:)
ReplyDeleteI got some things that use a retouch..
ReplyDeleteJen ... I have lanterns that look very much like that .. funny, I think I bought them in Holland at the time .. the world is getting smaller right ? LOL
ReplyDeleteI haven't used that feature on Piccasa yet .. I am learning ever so slowly ... drats !
That lantern is looking great now girl !
Joy : )
Off to download that tool now! I could really make some things happily disappear!
ReplyDeleteLove the rusted look!
ReplyDeleteIF only we looked as good when we got rusty! ;-)
Those are fantastic shots -- wow, I love the colours and dof ... and the rust adds such character.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind things getting rusty either, seems to fit well in the garden. And just as well, since I live on the Wet coast and things do rust. Great photos!
