Barbara, thank you for your kind comment on my page. It’s always a shock to the system when the temps change so dramatically after a hot summer, but we get used to it and with clothing to withstand such cold temps, I’m able to get out and about. I alter the camera setting indoors before going outside. I have a remote shutter control, which has quite a long cable. Using a monopod, I can hold the camera comfortably with a mitten on, while the other is tucked inside my -40c overalls to take the shot with the remote shutter. I unzip the overalls enough to slip my hand in with the shutter. So my one hand is only exposed for a matter of seconds at a time. All the projects posted are really lovely. Well done everyone! Today I went with this photo. I’m already dreaming of summer. The only shot I have ever taken of a Humming bird with it’s tongue out. For the background I used a plain colour, and added an overlay, then played with the blend modes to get the desired effect. For the background border I selected all, effects, 3D effect, buttonize. I also moved the blue splatter below the mask, to show more of the photo.
