I’ve told you about a recent project that I did for my pastor’s daughter.  I scanned pictures of her and her soon-to-be husband and put them into a Power Point presentation, which was shown at the wedding reception.  It was a lot of work, but also lots of fun.

Today, I’ll share (with permission) some photos of the groom, Terry.

I used Photofunia to create this introductory image.

Terry and his dad

The photo after lightening foreground and darkening background

In this photo, Terry was in dark shade and the city was in brilliant light.  Photoshop Elements helped me to correct this a bit, but the result (above) was not very good.  What to do?

After the filter

I applied a filter in Photoshop Elements to make it look like a painting.  I like this effect better.

There was also a neat picture of Terry in a heroic pose atop a large rock.  It looked like this:

The photo after minor touch up

I love this shot.  The man, the pose, the pedestal and the lake.  Yet, I felt something was missing.  Once again I turned to Photofunia.

A Photofunia effect adds drama

This was a lot of fun, but it took a lot of time.  I just wanted you to know I wasn’t idle while I was away from here.  (Perhaps you can begin to understand why I bought a new monitor after seeing these on a large screen.)

Thursday, I’ll post some pictures of the bride.  At least that is my intention.
