Playing with different processing effects on photoshop.

Sometimes I get stuck in my ways and just use my own post processing techniques in my work. Today I wanted to experiment with different ways to change the feel of a photo. I've been looking at tutorials and trying them out, below are the results. Links are also included of the tutorials I used.


Lomography - Retro effect. 
I'm a huge fan of lomography, and love the effects that you can get from them. The tutorial was easy understand, although I didn't all the same tools on photoshop as him so I had to improvise a little.

Instagram's Early bird filter
Found this tutorial for my favorite instagram filter! Although I don't think my results came out quite as well as the tutorials...

Watercolour effect

Dreamy effect 

I do like the effect of this one, although I think it would work better with a photo that has more shadows and contrast.

My own experiment with colours/filters..

After following the other tutorials, I experimented with different effects from the new techniques I'd learnt, mixed with the old ones I use. I may do a tutorial to follow for you guys, if your interested.

PS sorry for all the dog photos! This is my little Alfie :)
