Addicted to Photoshop

This post will be mostly visual, because it's way past my bedtime! I spent a few happy hours playing around in photoshop with more photos from our trip and wanted to share them with you. I am seriously addicted to Photoshop brushes and actions. I need to do a post to share my faves.

This shot was taken in Disney's Animal Kingdom, just after we exited the Kilimanjaro Safari ride. There was a little cottage prop along the path we exited and the color of the cottage - a deep turquoise/seafoam green was so lovely I had to stop for pics. I used an Urban Acid PS action, some brushes and fonts to give this the look I wanted.

 

This one was taken in the Chinese Pavilion (Epcot). I've used this building before but it's so appealing I couldn't pass up the chance for more photos here.

 

This one was taken in the France Pavilion, in the gardens behind the Arcade and the Parfumerie. This was taken in the late afternoon, and the I had to do little to touch this photo up.

 

This last one was also taken looking over the bridge from the UK Pavilion to the France Pavilion - just a shot of some scenery and props there, but I love the little vignette.

 

And here are some bright graphics for you to enjoy. See you soon!

 

 

 

Loving the vibrant colors in these graphics, enjoy!

Impressions de France

Just returned from Disney for a much needed vacation. We'd originally planned to go in October but had to move the trip up to the week before Easter, which was a big mistake. It was too crowded with spring break and Easter crowds, but I really needed the break, don't think I could have held out since October in any case as I think it had been nearly two years since I had a real vacation and work was burning me out. 

Of course Magic Kingdom is a must for Alekha's sake, but my real favorite is Epcot. The grounds are so gorgeous, there are so many incredible photo ops. One attraction I can never miss is the film Impressions de France in the France Pavilion. It's a short film, but the soundtrack of classical music, including L'Aquarium from Le Carnaval des Animaux by Camille Saint-Saens that you hear on my blog, is absolutely wonderful set to gorgeous imagery of the national treasures of France, like this one:

 

Le sigh.

Enjoy your Monday... and keep dreaming, of castles in the air... wherever you are.
