Polaroid Picture Pieces
In a bid to improve my photography and take it that bit further, I recently decided to get a monthly subscription to Photoshop and Lightroom but I decided on the photographers package which means it is a very reasonable £8.57 per month.
One of the things that I love about the photography magazines I buy are the extras that you receive. In this months Digital Photographer they are giving away various templates to download and use in Photoshop and one of the lessons is how to create a photo joiner image using polaroid frames – presets which they give you to download.
Firstly I chose two buildings. The first is Bindon House where Amchara Health retreat is based, and the other is Bristol Cathedral. Then, because it is Valentines Day, I had to share a photo of Ross and I. I think it adds a different dimension them all!
I do like these, I should really explore my photoshop more, I use to use it for work every day x
Thank you Jane – it really is great for photography x
This is a fun effect! I love Photoshop and Lightroom—totally worth it 🙂 #mysundayphoto
Thanks Sharisse – it really is 🙂 x
These are beautiful and really original. I always say I need to learn Photoshop but I never seem to have the time and it looks so difficult!
#mysundayphoto
Thank you so much. It really isn’t as hard as I first thought it would be 🙂
That’s a pretty cool effect. I bet you’ll be discovering all kinds of fun things you can do with your photos now!
Most totally! There is lots more to come 🙂
This is so much fun! I could play with that for hours. I’ve been toying with subscribing to Lightroom for a while now, I might have to take the plunge! #MySundayPhoto
Thank you 🙂 I can completely recommend it x
Hi Victoria, what an interesting affect. On first look I thought you must have taken ages matching the Polaroids (I am a bit dozy), then I read the post.
xx
Thanks Debbie! Glad it had the desired effect 🙂 x
This is so fun! & You both look so in love! Hope you both have had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! 🙂
Thanks so much 🙂 We did! x
This looks fabulous – love the effect!
Thank you Sarah 🙂
I am really enjoying watching your photography passion develop and as I was looking through the #MySundayPhoto link ups I knew this was yours as it really stood out. Great photos x
I think that this has to be one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me. Thank you xx
Wow they look really cool, I defiantly could do with a few Photoshop lessons myself x
Thank you – it really is worth it 🙂
This looks very cool! 🙂
Happy Valentine’s Day. xx

My dream to have lightroom! Pricey for me. The photos here are so amazing already and doing the effects adds fun =)
Happy Valentine’s Day #mysundayphoto

I had an app on my phone that did something similar but these are so much better! Beautifully done 🙂 x

I love how clever this is and it makes for a great effect whether you are using people or buildings. Such a fantastic idea #mysundayphoto
Thank you so much Tracey 🙂 x
That is such a great effect….I really like the first photo but they are all fab x
Thanks Kim 🙂 x
I love it, it;s a very interesting effect. Particularly love the middle building one!
Thanks Lauren 🙂 So pleased you like it x
I love the effect of all the different Polaroid pictures breaking up the main picture – what a fun effect to use.
Thanks Louise – I am so glad it works 🙂 x
What an interesting effect – although the way your face has been sliced into four parts is a little disconcerting!
I am sure there would be some people out there who would be happy about that!
This is so very clever and it looks great. Well worth the investment I’d say! I particularly love the last shot!
