Paris in sepia

Let the fun begin...
Monsieur Nick returned from Paris with over 1000 photos for 'moi'.
So I experimented with Photoshop and Picnik 
and decided to take you along for the ride.
This is his arty shot of his empty coffee cup
with the Eiffel Tower made of coffee grounds.
See it?
This is my interpretation adding one of his sepia shots of the Eiffel Tower
along with vivid light and faded photo in Photoshop,
and vignette, orton-ish and cinemascope in Picnik.
Just having some fun...
love this old building...
and he brought me this card...
so I merged it with another coffee shot using pinlight in Photoshop,
then matte, orton-ish and cinemascope in Picnik.
Just his stellar photo at the Louvre with old photo in Photoshop.
and finally a cool cafe (definitely have a coffee theme going here)
in orton-ish and focal black and white in Picnik.
So now 994 pictures to go.  
Guess we will be seeing more of Paris for awhile - 
hope you don't mind.
a bientot...
merci Monsieur Nick

  14. Sepia matches on the coffee shot because they have the same color. With that, I have imagine the taste and aroma of the cappuccino. When I was in Junior HS, one of my favorite lessons that I've learned from basic photography is sepia. I've thousand of files in my Flicker account. Most them are sepia and black and white themes. One of my creative shots was used in conceptualizing and making a website design. Toronto, my hometown, I just want to share that (Toronto) website designers are truly professional and absolutely creative.
