Changing Backgrounds

Ever since I learned how to switch out

skies in Photoshop Elements 8,

I have been playing around with

this fun feature.

I love photographing barns and

follow Tricia Hayes'

Barn Charm

The photo above is the original sky

which is pretty enough...

But changing the sky is a simple

photo-editing technique.

You can find numerous tutorials online sharing how

to do this in your own editing program.

I couldn't stop playing with the techinque

and put children up in the skies.

(Click on photos to enlarge.)

Thought I would share these

because they really are fun.

I also added various textures

and bokeh that you can find for free online.

You can also find lots of pretty sky photos online

or start taking interesting sky photos yourself

and storing them in a SKIES folder

where you can find them again.

Couldn't resist putting wings

on 5-year-old Katy because

she is such an

ANGEL!

                                                        I'm sure you will think up even

more ways to use the

Changing Backgrounds technique.

For more inspiration check out

Chelsey's

Paper Heart Camera.

I entered her Show and Tell Challenge

called, From a Distance.

Skies are a distance.

                                                    I hope I sparked your imagination.
