this or that thursday: polaroids

Just for fun I used polaroid frames with some swimming pics from last week. You can download the frames here. You will also find a photoshop tutorial on how to use the frames at the same link. I shouldn't have waited so long to figure out how to use them. It's really pretty easy!


Before I added the frames I ran a cross process action on the photos at about 75% to make them look a bit more vintage. World's Best Actions has some great free actions here for this kind of look.


And this is the result of a lot of fun in the pool, some polaroid frames and a cross processing action...





Now it's time to share what you've been shooting! There are just a few rules.
  • submit the url of your blog post, not your home page
  • link up a photo that was taken by you
  • include a link back to my blog in your post (you can use the button or a text link if you prefer)
  • visit a few other blogs and leave some comment love 
Okay, just link up below!

    Looks great with the Polaroid frames and I´m always weak for a little vintage. :-) I´d love to have a pool - so much fun!
