Landon: Can you find this star, right here?
Jamie: Sure. So why am I looking for this star?
Landon: Because I had it named for you. See?
It's official. It's from the International Star Registry.

The Trees Series

First off, I made these with the use of Adobe Photoshop. And my "skills" in it are that of a beginner's so just bear with me. Hihi! I was my usual self, thinking of how to be creative and all , and that's when I came up with the idea of tinkering with this tree picture that I took weeks ago while on the road near The Fort area. I am not sure if there's a difference among the pics. I hope there is coz I worked on them till the wee hours of the morning for a few days in a row( i mean it...hihi) . Constructive criticisms are DEFINITELY welcome. Just click on a picture to see its enlarged version.

This is the original picture...for your reference.

With the picture on the left, I was trying to make it look like it is already early in the evening but could not do it ( at least not yet) so that's what I ended up with. For effect, I added that bright light to it. I dunno what it is like to you, but I hope you like it. To the right, it is the same picture and I only did one thing to alter it: very easy to tell what the difference is so I won't discuss it anymore.

The two pictures above are almost the same , only the colors are different.I tried to create the effect that the trees are no longer planted by the sidewalk but on a hill of some sort. The "hill" ( or what I hope looks like a hill or a landscape) is actually the wall from the original picture. For the picture on the left, I wanted to make it look like late afternoon, when the sun is about to set. I don't know if I got itthat well, because I feel the sky should have had a more reddish/bluish glow and not orange . And the sun should have been lower and not that bright ( see that glow on the top right? That's the sun)nevertheless I like this picture and the combination of the colors orange and green.
For the picture on the right, I also like it. It looks calming. I guess the light added to the effect. I wasn't trying to come up with anyhting in particular for this picture but looking at it now, it evokes a serene and calm feeling. Like it just rained or something and then the sun just peeked out from the clouds for a bit. Hihi! What do you think?

With the picture on the left, I like it because of the colors. Looks a bit citrusy to me. And I like it that it is a bit blurry and smudged. To me, it looks like there's quite a strong gust of wind that swayed the trees , or that you are inside a fast-moving vehicle. Like you were moving along with it.Click on the picture to see the bigger version and perhaps you will see what I mean. For the one on the right, it looks a bit wintry to me. The trees and the lines look like ice to me. How about you, what do you think?

This one was very easy to do. I like it because of the way everything glows and swirls amidst a black background.
