Bob Hope Christmas Concert

Greetings,
This picture was taken at the Port of San Diego last summer at sunset. At the pier there is a tribute to Bob Hope for his love and caring performances for our troops though out the years. He would have a Holiday show for many years for the young men and women fighting for our freedom around the world. This is a part of several statues showing the troops standing around listening to him. Very impressive.

I can almost feel the presents of this great entertainer. The artist really captured the emotion of the scene, touching.

Usually, I do not like to take a picture into the sun. I have a UV filter that I put on to help soften the shot. However, a polarizing lens would have improved the look of this shot even more. I like the glow around his head and the soften of the sail boats in the background. The water seems to just glitter. Isn't light just incredible? you never know the real out come until you get home and put it on your computer.

Have a great day! Pray that our troops will be home soon..

Greetings!
I thought this might be fun to explore today... I have some fairy figurines that I took some quick pictures of and had a little fun in Photo Shop. I like the out come it looks a little whimsy with softness. You have to love fairies, they make your heart flutter with happiness.

Photo Shop is great, you can take a not so good picture and turn it into something of value if you have a little imagination and feel creative.
I used the Posterized and watercolor filters and added some saturation and look what happened? She is flying in the wind the air is dancing all about.

I highly recommend Photo Shop CS3 for hours of fun and entertainment.

Have a great day!
