Thursday's Thoughts, Giving Credit

If you've been visiting 5SF for a while, you know that
all of the photos here are mine and that,
"what you see is what I shot"

Others, who have contributed photos were given credit
and
only two pictures were played with on the computer,
which I also pointed our at the time. I plan on keeping
the photos on this blog true to the way they were taken.
With that said, let me explain the pictures your looking at.

I like the way the pictures on Muddy Boot Dreams and
It's a Southern Thing looked, but had no idea
how to go about it.

A few weeks back I found a web site "Vintage West Photos"
this site belongs to Stacie Lamson. Stacie is a ranch wife
in Southeaster Montana, who started getting serious about
her photography last December. I had seen Stacie's
photos before on her blog Smiling country, now privet.

She created these great textures and has make them
available as free downloads, to any one who would like
to use them. "Wow that's really nice" Let me just say

"THANK YOU STACIE"

What do you think.....the photos are mine, of course and
the textures are Stacie's. I used Tin Typish, Warm Muslin
and Branding Wood. Using the Picasa collage setting to
lay the texture over the photo, then changed the lighting
and the color with Windows Live Photo Gallery, that
came on my computer. It was furn and now I'm hooked.

Thinking about adding a page to the blog just for photo
play... still working on all the text being the same color.

Those textures are really cool. I have seen pics like that too and have always wondered how they were made.
