Re: [MC74 and Friends] NEW YEAR ' S RESOLUTION


Hi HL & KL

I have the same resolutions that I don't keep (sigh), I don't think I could turn fully vegetarian yet, so I'll start small... my resolution is to go vegetarian once a week... and to definitely to drink more water! See I mean it, I just finished a bottle to take this picture!

  1. Hi Caro,
    Love your entry. Very clever and great shot. How did you do the blurry part at the right side of the first photo and left side of the second one?

    PS: re: drinking water, the lady who does reflexology for me, and who at 60 plus has beautiful smooth skin, gave me the following advice:
    2 glasses of water before breakfast and coffee (apparently these two glasses of water early in the morning are important to help clearing more effectively the toxins and waste from your body). one glass half an hour after each meal (so, at least you drink 5 glasses of water), and every time you have a cup of coffee or tea, drink a cup of water.

  2. Thanks MC!

    For some reason, I really don't drink enough water, which is really bad. I love coffee and tea... I'll try to remember your tip to drink water after I drink coffee etc... but it's easier said than done! A relative advised me to drink hot water, especially in the morning with some lemon juice for cleansing... My Hong Kong friends who have beautiful smooth skin all like to drink warm water, but I have yet to acquire that habit, maybe I'll start with weak tea...

    For the photo, I have used Adobe Photoshop, and lined up the 2 photos side by side, then I flattened into 1 single layer (i.e. combine the 2 photos into 1), then I select the area between the 2 photos and apply a mask with motion blur, voila. It was a rush job, I'm glad you liked it!

    Cheers
    Caro

  3. Hello Caro

    Such an eye catching picture, that could very well double up
    as a print ad, or commercial for a thirst quenching drink,
    pure water in its most natural state, the way to a healthy habit,
    sound body and mind, with long term benefits

    Very ingenious, creative illustration of before/after sequence,
    a fast moving blur of a motion that made drinking water,
    quite an inviting proposition, a new year resolution worth keeping
    all year long
