Old Woody

And this is yet another GIF...

This is "Old Woody," a tree not far from here. They've decorated with paper lanterns for Christmas. I added the light, and the small blue Christmas/Fairy lights that come on afterwards.

Sunset, Night Sky, Shooting Star

This is yet another GIF. I started with a false-watercolor (many filters on photoshop) of a photo I took, then added the changing light, the stars, and finally the shooting star.

I think it turned out rather well, don't you?

cheers

A Bit Of Lampost...GIF

I'm rolling with the GIFs these days. Here's my most recent. This is a lamppost along a path near where I live. I tried to give it a growing dusk sort of feeling.

A cozy bath...

Yet another GIF, this one based on a stock photo of a extra cozy bath lit by candles. I thought it would be fun to put in changing lights and then have the trees outside the windows become illuminated. I am pretending that they are Christmas trees.

Martha put it best when she said this looked like a bath...in a very cold place.

Anyway, see what you think of the motion and the light effects.

From Video To GIF

So as part of my experiments with GIFs, I am trying to learn how to turn a video into a GIF. This is my first attempt...somewhat dizzying and probably shouldn't be watched for long periods :-)

Anyway, this is a time lapse video I took of a trail near where I live. I've made it into an endlessly looping GIF. As I say, don't watch it too long :-)

Another GIF

Here's another experiment with a GIF. This is meant to be a building in winter as a day turns to night.

Another GIF

Another GIF, and another building blinking in the night 😀

This one is a bit bigger, though. And the blues are fun, IMHO.

Tap on it (about the center) to get the full screen. Better view.

cheers
