crop, edit, edit

Another trip to Tamhani. This time with a punctured tyre! The machine which helps me to move from one place to another was helpless to move on its own! It was a tiresome walk of 1 km or so...

Just as the mechanic was trying to fix the problem I got curious about the scattered instruments and the dead tyre; got a snap just like that! back home played with the snap...
    I first tried cropping it so that everything comes closer so as to give the picture a kind of tightness; made it black n' white with a sepia tone.
Again adjusted brightness and contrast a lil bit. Then put the picture in PS. There I played with using different filters. Embossing attracted my attention; it was kind of fossilizing the frame!! I like it. Hence I tried it; adjusted the angle so that the picture looks more like a 3D snap; bordered it to make it packed.
  Finished! Can be sold as a book cover! ;-)

Tamhani scape



Borders make picture attractive, compact. these lines try to attract viewer to the more important features of photographs.
Landscapes such as this one are borderless although they look good with borders! what i mean to say is; it's man's nature to keep everything under control and happy (symbol of which is border); this may not work always though!

Such a sweet home

No explanations about the quote (cauz everybody's home is different and personalized). I wanted to make this photograph soft; curtains did the job.
