Jenny

It was a disappointing rainy morning today with low cloud covering the hills. I'd decided to avoid a walk in the rain and then I saw this Jenny Longlegs - not Daddy Longlegs, we're in Scotland! It was stretched out on the glass of the back door. I cleaned the inside of the glass as best I could, but obviously couldn't do anything about the outside and tried a few shots against the sky. Dull, dull, dull. I tried a few shots with the garden out of focus in the background. Dull, dull, dull.

Finally I opted for the original shots against the sky, dropped the image into PS and layered a brightly coloured OOF background on top. Changed the layer type to Soft Light and bingo, it was a bright summer's day again.
Amazing what you can pick up browsing the mags in WH Smith!

Ok, admins / tech help, whatever you call yourselves at Blip. This is an ultimatum. The next time you 'lose' one of my posts, I'm terminating my contract with you. Blip is a great community, but I get the feeling that nobody "at the top" cares about the punters, so I will keep up my Flickr account and my blog, but I've had enough with waiting for "connecting" and posts being dropped. Why should I pay for such crap service?
