Blue Doors
"Rustic"
April's theme subject will be "Rustic".
Rustic is almost it's own photography genre. Rustic implies something
old and weathered, but it can also be something classic and pristine.
The theme for this month allows for a great deal of freedom and
creativity. almost any subject can be given a rustic makeover.
You can get creative in your post processing by adding an old
or antique feel to your image or you may just want to find a subject
that time has done the work for you as in the image above. The
Blue Doors in the image were shot in fairly harsh direct sunlight
and I feel that they have seen many years of that sunlight. What
I may have done in the final edit has already been done for me,
easy edits gotta love em. Let's see what you come up with. Once
you upload your image to Flickr
you will have a chance to explain your photo at the next meeting.
Oh and you will be entered into our monthly Give-Away too, but
you will need to have your dues upto date and be present at the
meeting April 2nd to qualify.

QUICK TIP!
Have you ever wanted to add a © symbol to your
photographs, you really should. well here is a quick keyboard
shortcut to do just that. On a Windows Keyboard you hold down
ALT + 0169 on the keypad , note this will work
on any desktop with the keys on the top, but you will need to
use the numbers keypad on a laptop, just make sure the num lock
is on.
On a Mac it is OPTION + G. There may be different
configurations for software such as MS Word and such but there
you can easily find and use the "Character Map"
