"My Newly Printed Greeting cards have arrived"

I had 5x7 greeting cards (see label here: fine art greeting card) printed on fine art linen paper stock (22 different images at 25 cards/image mostly of images taken at Shipley..my best hummingbird shots and all of my the ones from my fountain collection, as well as a few flower ones)...Had the cards printed up by my fantastic online printing outfit (whcc.com). I will be selling these cards at Shipley Nature Center and at my local nail place..Also I think at my local florist..I've emailed her to find out..I found out yesterday she just got back from vacation..so maybe will hear from her this weekend...anyway...so I have a big process now of putting each card in plastic sleeve, putting on the price tag, and also I guess I will need to keep track of how many of each card I leave at each location right? I have an urge to take samples to my local Hallmark store too? maybe...when I get a chance I will post a picture of what one of the cards looks like..the image on the front and on the back..I made my own insignia..the image title, an icon of the image, my watermark, then "fine art prints available" and then my web site address under that...looks so nice IMHO!

Sunday

"Glory Hour"



Available as a limited edition, number and signed 5" x 7" fine art note card or print. See my website for more info!

On this image I test-drove Isabelle LaFrance's upcoming new set of actions,textures and overlays..Soulful Black and White. I did not use the b/w action as I still wanted my photo in color..I used the Cinnamon bw texture and the matching bw overlay...so lovely...and then I ran an action which is free and available right now..I used one from the Soulful Dawn til Dusk called "Soulful Glory Hour" and then decided it was a perfect name for this picture...taken within the hour before the sun set.
Also added in Glorious Nature Art "Orange Light" butterfly as an added accent...;-D

65 Files that make up my latest collection....Glorious Nature Art Overlays and Textures III.  

Over the last three years,  I thoroughly enjoyed taking these pictures and turning them into textures and overlays that you now have the opportunity to add into your own images to create artful creations of your own.  

These textures and overlays originate from my fantastic, high-end cameras and lenses...Canon 5D Mark II and Mark III, Canon 1D Mark III and Mark IV......coupled with the best quality Canon glass available today...for example, all of the birds and butterflies were captured using Canon's EF300mm f/2.8L Lens...making these the best quality, highest resolution textures and overlays to date.

You can see some examples of how I have used these very same textures and overlays in my own images...check here on my blog or have a look on my Flickr site 

As an added bonus, be sure to open up and read the .pdf file, for tips on how to capture bird pictures......especially the hard-to-nail hummingbirds!
