To the Beach

Now the summer is upon us, I'm again obsessed with all things summery, beachy, and watery. I decided to have some fun editing photos I took of Northern Michigan and post them on my blog.

I really like how the I made different filters turn this photo look like an oil painting. I love how Photoshop can make make one photo and make it look like different mediums.

Here is the original picture, bland and boring
Here is the edited version with different filters to look like an oil painting postcard




No, Michigan doesn't have starfish, but it would be awesome if they did. I grabbed my mother-in-law's fake starfish she had at her place and took some pictures of it. I played with the adjustments because the original was overexposed.
Below is the original

I also have another picture and added a border:



This picture was actually an accident, I meant to focus on the sailboat, but the camera focused on the cable cords and turned out pretty cool.

Have a happy summer!
