Biking in the Everglades

Biking in the Everglades

We took a 14 mile bike ride through the Everglades. At first I was a little anxious seeing all the alligators (60 in all), but the shutterbug in me took over the scaredy cat side, and I began clicking away. One alligator was so close to the path that we almost ran over him!

The Process
I selected a solid paper from AP Traveler, layered a solid paper from AP Document above it and changed the blending mode to soft light and reduced the opacity a bit to make the paper brighter and to add some more texture. I clipped the bike photo to a camera fotoblendz mask and changed the blending mode of the mask to color burn. Then I duplicated my photo and changed the blending mode to hard light and reduced the opacity. I clipped the alligator photo to a camera fotoblendz (blending mode changed to color burn) and then layered a stained glow over the photo and changed the blending mode to color and reduced the opacity. An alligator image from Animals Down Under was subtly blended into the page. Transfers from AP Document were layered and blended (color burn) were added below the photos. A bicycle from MultiMedia Bicycles 1 was recolored and the blending mode was changed to color burn. An overlay from ScriptTease Travel Overlays was added, recolored and blending mode changed to soft light. Elements, word art, label words were added to complete the page.

Wow Miki, love the subtle blended photo and the nice touch of elements and the mm bike. When we were in the Everglades, we also saw some alligators. They are beautiful, but I found them scary too. Did'nt go near them! Love how you captured this!
 
What a great shot, love the way you've blended it into the paper and wonderful balance!
 
nearly a flat tyre! But you can see you're a true scrapper since you still took a photo. Love how you blended it into the page
 
This caught my eye since we just came from there. We saw them from a boat tho! I love your page and the blending, the word art! Pretty!
 
Super story! Love the blending and all the fun elements to your page.
 
love this page! wow I think this is why I may not ride my bike through the everglades I am not sure I could pedal faster than he could run! LOL - the blending is awesome!
