Is that a Coolibah tree beside the abandoned house? Every Australian knows about Coolibah trees because the bush ballad Waltzing Matilda is nigh on our unoffical national anthem but most of us live nowhere near the inland where they grow. Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, Under the shade of a Coolibah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me. Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
"To muse, to creep, to halt at will, to gaze ... such sweet wayfaring"
William Wordsworth
ROFL - what kind of stylish Australian dog is this???
ReplyDeleteJust been browsing through your blogs. They are very good and I enjoyed them. Your photography is terrific and I'd love to know how to eep colour in one area only, I guess it is done with Photo Shop.

Hi Diane, thanks for visiting. Yes colouring is done with photoshop. I duplicate the image in a second layer, convert that layer to B&W then erase the bit I want to colour.
ReplyDeleteAnother way is use a freehand tool to circle the part of the image you want to keep coloured and copy it to your clipboard. Then convert the image to B&W and paste the colour bit back on top. This method is not as accurate.
Such a great commentary on the previous post! Love it ...
