The Twelve Days of Christmas - Jolly 'Ole St. Nick

This picture of Jolly 'Ole St. Nick was taken at, you guessed it, the local Light Up Festival. The photo on the left is the original. It's quite ordinary and not a spectacular picture, but as I've been stressing in previous posts, notice how different a simple photograph can look with the help of a filter. The centre photo uses the Star Dust filter, and the last image is using the Sketch Art filter. I love how the Christmas tree looks like it is a cut-out ginger cookie dripping with icing in the last picture. Think twice before you delete what might have the potential to be a creative shot.

I hope you've enjoyed my photography tutorials. It might seem a bit off track, but it's all part of getting to know me. Let me know what you get up to for hobbies. Please post some of your original photographs.

That's it for now. Have yourself the best day. I'll speak to you again tomorrow.
