A bit of Dodge and Burn with Photoshop =).

I don't really like enhancing the images like that because I don't want to manipulate the pixels non-uniformly from that what already exists. Thus destroying it's authenticity. I couldn't resist this time.

I think the techniques you and Chris use for clarification are really good, and work just fine, esp. to show what you are seeing without changing the original too much.

Thanks for that, TB. I have to say though, that I do really like your enhancement. And when shown next to the original, I think it is the best way to enable others to see what is there. And your enhancement of the Fur Goblin makes this one of my all-time favourite spirit photos.

It reminds me little beings in one of Chris's garden photos.

Awesome pictures, the Fur Goblin is superb!.

I have some of these Gnomes in my Garden too, these were hiding behind my garden door!

This is my favorite part of Alisa's board...
the 'fae' & the 'little people'

It's remarkable the characters that show up in pictures.
I really find it fascinating!

Great captures.
Cool!

Thanks for sharing those photos, starchie!

And thanks for loving this part of the board, Dawn! Do you you still have your story of the little green being with the drawing (that I so loved) posted somewhere?

I am currently reading (slowly to savour it) the most wonderful book called "Summer with the Leprechauns" by Tanis Helliwell. The summary inside the cover says:



From what I have read so far at almost 1/2 way through, it completely jibes with all that I have found to be true through my intense study of spirit over the last three years and adds much more, filling in many gaps for me and raising my level of understanding. Double thumbs up on this book.

I'm at a stand still with my web site building right now. Can you believe it, my new webhost has decided to do an upgrade or something and so I'm waiting to make sure that my site doesn't get lost in the transition before I build the rest of my website. I still got a ton of pages to build & upload as soon as I know they won't disappear... my mainsite is up and running and completely backed-up on my hard drive and burned into a cd...

<--- I knd of like this smilee it's cute

"Summer with the Leprechauns" is on my 'to get' list. I think it would be a fascinating read. I'm glad you're giving it a thumbs-up, because I always feel better when someone I know tells me that a book is good before I buy it.

Good luck with your new webhost!

Yes, I vouch strongly for, Summer with the Leprechauns! And I'll let you know about another Fairy book I purchased at the same time and haven't yet started.

I see a lot of Leprechauns, I really need to get that book too, thanks for the recommendation.

Here are a few of my Fae and Leprauchaun (potential) pictures, dedicated to Dawn!!

My favorite Leprechaun i've caught is this one, it was in a lovely and ancient wood, comprised of semi natural oak and ash and managed as coppices for many centuries. A great place for Leprechaun hunting. I think he's carrying a goat kid or animal.
