Mono Monday Plus #36 (MM #50)

Have been wanting to put this picture together for a while now.
I call it
"THE DREAM"
You need a place to dream about... (California, of course) 
and the things to make the dream come true...
I took the "place" picture and added the bull moose first. Than the tee pee. What you can't tell on this page (because of the white back ground) is the four pictures that look like they are just objects are actually on a white back ground them self and I really didn't want to do all that erasing so I was trying to figure out a way to get the white back ground transparent in GIMP... That wouldn't work with the tee pee as it had too much white on the object its self so it became transparent as well... But I did get it to work on the other three... had to flip the canoes and rotate them somewhat to get them to be part in the water and part on the shore. Added each of those one at a time and than the moose and her baby had to be added with the back ground erased.... Lost my work completely after 5 hours and started over...lol.... so the second time I lost it.. I only lost what I had done to it last as I had been saving it as I went a long. And this is what I ended up with in GIMP:
Than as usual I took it to PICNIK and Create... changed it to B&W... then put the white mist around it with Matte. Just used the drop shadow instead of a frame and I had
THE DREAM
The Plus is not really a plus but "The Dream" in living color... Which of course, should make it more of a reality 
Wishing everyone a week
in which your dreams come true!
Oh Linda You done good girl. Now don't hate me, but if you had used a selection tool to select the object first and then you could have erased the rest of the background. LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL sorry my bad I did not ask you if you had done that step just assumed you had.LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Next time we will remember. I tried to do something the eother day and I could not remember how I had done it for the life of me.
ReplyDeleteCan we go there??!!??
ReplyDeleteI did but it erased the object and not the background ~ that is what I was telling you this morning....
ReplyDeleteWAIT... I POSTED BEFORE I ADDED MY MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOH NO!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteWas going to use "Dances with Wolves" ~ so much prettier.. but no mention of moose in that one!

ReplyDeleteROFL!!!! Bruce just adds so much. . .
ReplyDeleteLOL ~ he is a character for sure... that should bring one right out of a dream!!!!
ReplyDeletelol just member dont cheese off a moose
ReplyDeleteWill keep that in mind ~ Rofl
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking teepees....tents....sleeping under the stars is starting to sound more better all the time. I guess it depends on where you are and who you're with.
ReplyDeleteokay....one question where do I plug in my blow dryer and coffee maker?...and how do I charge my computer battery?
I would think you will need a gasoline powered generator ~ ROFL.. Unless you don't mind your coffee cooked over a campfire and your hair drying in the wind....you did get me with the computer battery!!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe if we all put our extension cords together. . .
ReplyDeleteThey sell solar powered chargers someplace I just can not remember where.
ReplyDeleteI can help with this one... I have two of those heavy duty ones (one orange with one out let and one blue with three outlets... she could plug in her hairdryer, coffee pot and computer too!!!!!!!!!)
ReplyDeleteThere you go.... Rita solved all our problems... we just have to find the place!
ReplyDeletegoogle it
ReplyDeleteYou can find anything that way!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now why didn't I think of that!
ReplyDeleteHere you go.

ReplyDeleteAre there mooses in California? I don't ever recall seeing them, but then maybe I wasn't looking in the right places. Very nice Linda!!
ReplyDeleteYes, but they are rare! Below is the link to site I got the first picture from (I meant to mention it when I posted anyway) and it shows several other pictures of them in California... it even states that many don't know there are moose in California.
