I call this next item “Ozark Island” inspired by a small island in the middle of Lake Taneycomo in the Branson Missouri area.

In this selection, the perspective and smoky bubble lens effects give this photo a certain “other worldly” quality that I liked about it. The multi purpose template design allows you to create various treatments of the picture, including calendar, inspiration, greeting card, or even an award design just by adding text and saving a copy.

With this group of posts, I will combine photographic effects and photo matting compliments. The first offering is a flower shot that has been enhanced to bring out a nice texture in the picture. Though it is hard to improve on Mother Nature, it is sometimes possible to make a better photo by enhancing the shot using some special effects. This shot could be used as a multi purpose template by adding text to the picture, bringing more value to the purchase of the image. To see a higher resolution version of the picture, click on the shot.

I have no real explanation for the substance of the following image. I was walking alone one evening letting my mind wander, and the thought that came to mind was as shown, so I made it real. The idea seemed humorous to me, so I hope you will find it amusing as well. To see a higher resolution version of the picture, click on it. Roscoe?

June 2010 – Multi Purpose Templates

jdir — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 10:00:16 +0000

My multi purpose template begins with a basic matted photo design, and then adds text or graphics to transform the picture into a form with utility. You can purchase the basic design, then add enhancements to extend the use of the image into a wide variety of other images to display in a digital picture frame, as a computer wallpaper, or print the image to use as a wall hanging. In the example below, I imposed a calendar on the graded color area to create a monthly calendar. A day by day or perpetual calendar could be made by using the baseline image, and adding a month and day to the same shaded area, or by adding a day of the week, month, day, and year in text using almost any available graphics program like Paint. Presuming you want to change the base image once per month, the total cost of this do it yourself method would be $36 per year. Of course, I could also produce all these variations for you at $3 per image, but if you want to use your own creativity, the cost savings for using the multipurpose template made from your photos would be significant, and a fun project for you to try.
