Warmth of the prairie…
A cold wind blows throughout the night, while snow fills the winter air. It’s warm inside my cozy home and I find myself drawn to images of dandelions basking in the warmth of the early summer sun.
Blend of three images: Grove of trees near my house, dandelions from my lawn last summer and maternity image captured in the studio with strong backlight. Watercolor filter, lens flare and lighting effects added with Photoshop CC.

RJMeyerArts: 2015 in review
An October Walk in Scary Gary, SD had the most hits with the Last Wildcat Swish coming in second. Click on those links to view the top posts for RJMeyerArts.com. The video Gary, SD 2015 Turtle Races earned a fifth place spot with my first attempt at GoPro video with the camera duct taped to a turtle during competition. I’m happy with the international views this year with 88 countries hitting on RJMeyerArts.com.
Now it’s time to plan my goals for 2016… I’m thinking of a blog post featuring the 2016 Gary, South Dakota 3rd of July Celebration. Video? Still photography? Combination?
Hmmm… What do YOU think?

Wanted to add a dreamy, soft and warm look to this image…

My attempt at reproducing the effects of adding soft light as demonstrated in this Youtube tutorial:
After starting, stopping, starting, stopping, going back, replay, repeat, etc. I finally came to the end of the tutorial. My final result is not perfect, but I did learn some coloring effects that may come in handy in the future. You’re never too old to learn new things!
