Snapshots: The Yucatan

Anyone who can leave the Yucatán with indifference has never been an artist and will never be a scholar.
— Claude-Joseph-Désiré Charley

A woman of the prairie reflects upon the past with optimistic hope for the future.

Blend of three images (Maternity image, prairie grass and wooded area) with lighting effects and lens flare added in Photoshop CC. Warmth toning also added using color balance and warming filter.

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.

Miracle…

Yes, I miss summer!  Just saying.

Determination

Playing around with an edgy style of editing to give the impression of toughness.

Backlit with Canon 580 EX 2 flash.  Front slightly filled with reflector. Reflection is real and not edited into the image, but I did blend another image with jersey on the subject. Edited with Photoshop CC 2015 HDR and added some texture to the edges.

Strich-1360rhdr2txwebI am thinking the window would be a good spot for an action image blended in. Hmmm…?

Peace…

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?
