Blue Christmas?

Filed Under: Photography

We actually had a white Christmas this year. It was a little late but it did snow on Christmas. I really love to use the Cyanotype Preset in Lightroom 2 on my snow pictures. I just love the way that it makes the snow pictures look. So I applied that then exported it and opened it in Elements and added a soft light blending layer. Resized and sharpened for the web.

    there's no cyanotype preset in my lightroom 3 - I wonder if they just changed the name?
  9. Rosie@leavesnbloom says

    December 28, 2010 at 3:21 pm

    That's lovely how the edit turned out though I like the sooc as much as the edit. I must go into lightroom and try this out on some of my snow photos and see what they look like.

    Very pretty - definitely a sweet shot for Tuesday. :) We had an ice storm earlier this month and I snagged a couple of nice shots with my easy to use digital camera. It'll be fun to enjoy these come summer when we're roasting, won't it? :)

Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. Th Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. The teachers say he seems happy to be back. This would technically be his 8th grade but we will probably hold him back a few years in middle school before we move him up to high school. Of course they are “virtual” tomorrow and possibly Friday because of the hurricane/tropical storm. Then Labor Day on Monday. So he probably won’t be back again until Tuesday.

He committed to working out and bulking this Summer and made some huge gains. Swipe to see his last day of school photo in June. We are so proud of him.
