| | I've been in a VERY FAERY mood because of the fairy festival coming up - here is the info:
Jade and Will are going to be there, some of Lene's art will be there (don't know if Lene will be there - I can't ask Will right now, he isn't home) and we'll be selling our art, photos and crafts at the festival. It's Allzah's first time vending at a festival, so wish us well! This is a great family event. The festival will be held Saturday and Sunday, May 20 and 21, 2006 10 AM to 6 PM
Patuxent 4H Center, 18405 Queen Anne Road
Upper Marlboro, MD 20774
Admission is $3 for children 3-11 and $7 for those 12 and older.

I also saw A Midsummer Night's Dream at Port Tobacco Players : www.ptplayers.com which is still running for two more weekends, so go out and see the cute faeries and all the Shakespeare magic if you can.

So with all of that FAIRY energy about me I wanted to try something creative I've wanted to do for a while. In fact my first "fairy photos" were taken over four years ago, but back then I didn't know much about Photoshop, so I'm going to try my skills at combining the two.
I hear boys like girls with skills. Oh...no...wait a minute, that's girls like guys with skills, so I don't have anything to worry about.
Anyway, as part of my fairy photography experimentation I have taken a few photos of my lovely daughters. Yes, Mrs. Barlett has some lovely daughters...lovely daughters...
I dragged them out to the studio Sunday when it was all gloomy and stressy and decided to have some fun. I experimented with different camera settings - some failed MISERABLY - and lighting - some of that turned out pretty good. I took some simple shots of them in simple clothing - just some beige vintage slips - and shot with one light for that "night time" effect. I thought of doing them in sepia, but I liked how they turned out.
The idea is to take these photos and add a background of some sort - a very fairy setting, lighting effects courtesy of my Photoshop plug-ins and see what I can come up with.
This is just a couple of them, I still haven't decided which ones of the bunch I will use, these are just an example.
I'll keep you posted as to how it turns out!
