Poladroid: A Free, Fun Tool!

poladroid, originally uploaded by calligraphycarol.

Heather from Heather Green Photography posted a link about a new free software you can use to make a nostalgic polaroid-type look out of any digital photo file. It’s easy to use and it looks and sounds just like a polaroid camera, right on your desktop. The image appears slowly, just like it used to with a polaroid camera. Try it for yourself! And then join their Flickr group.

Together forever

Together forever, originally uploaded by calligraphycarol.

I made a storyboard of a client’s photos from a session with them. They were really fun to photograph. The husband kept cracking me up. My husband and I both took pictures, so these are from both of us. Check his photostream out here: www.flickr.com/photos/billmcfa/

Thanks Dawn!

This is my son and the girl he’s courting.
I used some free presets for Lightroom, and a free texture (image 1273) for the background, and one of my own wordarts. Here are the links to these products:

“The Coolest Place for Digital Photography Hobbyists”

That title is the tag line for http://www.dumpr.net/
It IS a pretty cool place to go if you want to make an interesting avatar. You can have your face on a museum wall, or made into a puzzle or Rubik’s cube, or be the center of attention for the paparazzi.
Try it yourself, it’s fun!

FREE Photoshop Actions

I came across a website that gives away Photoshop actions yesterday and tried one of them out. It makes a Polaroid photo (called A2D Polaroid600) out of your photo.

I had already figured out how to make polaroids, but this is nice that someone has made up an action plug-in and you can get a polaroid just by clicking the play button!

This a polaroid of Renée I made from a picture I took yesterday while we were on location shooting the www.absolutiontv.com promo. The little kids were having fun with an outdoor air conditioning unit making their hair blow.
