Logo update




Hello, everyone! Its time to update the blogs logo. A butterfly perched on the capital letter of the logo is no longer appropriate for me. It was there only for a design, not for any particular reason and its outdated for me. Now, I have a clear direction of what I want on my blog. I am going to replaced it with a bird. The bird represents a unique personal wish to freedom, so I’ve decided to put the bird on the logo. The two other elements are hearts and flowers, which represents love and beauty. Now, I am happy that I have a clear message for you … Love, Beauty and Freedom.

-It’s Essential To Life!

Photo enhancement

Finding new ideas to the blog can be a nightmare of any blogger, but finding nice shot to enhance is much better for me. Every picture I take, goes to its post- processing work. Sometimes it may take few hours to improve the quality of the image, nevermind I love do that.. 
In the next steps I`ll illustrate simple technics that I use permanently and that gives good result:

Step1
Open the photo into Photoshop. Select Crop Tool  to get rid of all unnecessаry:



Step2
Even an orange it needs some skin - retouch  :)
Create a Duplicate layer, select Spot Healing Brush tool with proper size to remove any imperfections :



Step 3
Let`s sharpen the image. Hit Cntr+Shift+Alt+E. Copy this Layer1 by hitting Cntr+J. Hide the Copy Layer by clicking the eye icon on the layers palette.Then select the original Layer under it, go to Filter/ Other/ High Pass. Set the radius around 2 pixels and change the Blending Mode to Vivid Light.



Step 4

Now  the details are sharpened but this also affects the whole image so lets add mask and smooth areas where sharpness is undesired. Add Layer Mask by  pressing the icon on Layers Palette. Take soft black brush and smooth any area out of focus:


Step5
Activate Layer1 Copy by clicking the eye icon again. Create new layer Shift+Cntr+N. Take a brush with bright color and paint.


Change the Blending Mode to Soft Light, opacity around 40%. This step can be applied to enhancing colors on any object.

Step6
Let`s improve the image quality. Make the Background copy active layer, by clicking on it. Select Image/Adjustment/ Hue and Saturation: move sliders a little bit until desired result. Press OK.



Step 7
Image/ Adjustment/ Levels:

HDR Photography

From the first time I saw HDR images I knew  that I want to take photos like these of my own. HDR is revolutionary to new photographers:) It`s a way to set your images and create something that not everyone else can. Anything is possible now. Photos look different from a lot of the other photos out there in the world.



Asprovalta, Greece
Stavros, Greece

Kavala, Greece

           Pictures are taken  in Greece!
.Spending a lot of time in Photomatix, developing my  style and hope for some honest feedback.
