Fairies--Fairies Everywhere!

4/27/2020

I have been a little lax in doing other-than-blog-circle posts on this blog in a while, but there is something about being at home due to a pandemic which gives you extra time to work with.

I decided to pull up a project I have been working on over the course of--oh, well--hmmmm--a too wide expanse of time.  In this project, I have taken some photos of our granddaughters and made them into fairies.

But what about our grandsons, you ask?  (Or maybe you didn't ask, but here is my response anyway.)

Grandsons are a tough nut to crack.  They aren't as easy-going about photographs.  I am going to have to figure out something for them eventually, but that's another story.

Let me share some of the "fairies" in our lives.
Picture
I spent quite a bit of time on the photo above.  Here's what it looked like before I began this specific project. 
Picture
The above is an untouched, unedited photo.  It was taken three years ago, and I started the project just after that, but got sidetracked - - - - A. LOT.

I had to hunt for everything from the proper thing to sit on, to a background that would work, as well as a fairy gown to match the image and some cool lamp post images to choose between for the light source.  I think it came out pretty magical.

Then there is this image.
Picture
I thought I had a finalized version of this image a while back, but decided to change it once again.  I still see some issues with light, that I will have to fix, but it's on its way to being done.  Sometimes the more you look at things, the harder it gets to see what needs fixing.  The before image is below.
Picture
Again, it is untouched and unedited. 

I had to create the pond from a number of different stock finds (I think there were 10 in total, combined to make the single pond), then remember to add reflections.

The background was also found in stock photos, but my own, taken in our woods.  The animals were all stock photos.  I thought about adding a bear in the background, camera right, and still may do so. 

Finally, last year, I took some photos in our own woods with our granddaughter that lives local to us, and turned them into fairy photos.
Picture
Version one is above.  Unfortunately, I do not have the originals to these.  But I am pretty happy with the way they turned out.  Version two is below.  Which version do you like better?
Picture
My goal is to ultimately frame all three together and hang them on our wall.  It's a great age and time to remember when they were all not-so-grown, and believed in magical things.  Plus, I will be offering fairy photos for kids and grandkids, with or without pets, once we are able to become fully operational again.

Have a great week, full of believing in the good works and magic of our daily fairies, whoever they may be!
