Light painting in the garden.

A very quiet day today. No visiting, no celebrating, no driving, no over eating, bliss! I don't want to sound ungrateful or anti-social, I have really enjoyed Christmas and seeing everyone, it's just that it's also nice to stop for a while.

This allowed me time to play with my new christmas presents. So here we have a bit of a mish-mash of a blip. I took the original photo exposed for the background and my new flash gun and shoot-through umbrella lighting me up. I then added the flames from the torch.

The processing is a first. In the future I think I will use the same stuff - Topaz and Silver FX but applied on layers in a different sequence.

Living and learning.
