This week we went out and chopped down our Christmas tree from the Reuben Tree Farm out past Glendale. It took at least an hour of searching around before we found the perfect tree. Now we always tend to get a large tree, usually about a seven footer, but this year we just couldn't find the perfect tree in that size range. The one we ended up settling on was actually closer to 11.5 feet tall; this was a problem since the ceiling is only about 8 feet off the ground. After much effort cutting it down, though a massively thick trunk, I was suprised to see an almost perfect star pattern created by the tree's rings.
I took a picture, with my handy phone, and it looked even more defined on my little screen. I immediately uploaded the picture onto my computer, but upon doing so, I could barely make out the star pattern that had captured my attention. Remembering one of our lessons in lab, I used Photoshop to create a new layer and used the Overlay blend mode. Instantly the star popped back out in the picture. I had to do a few adjustments to remove the strikingly PINK coloring it inherited, but otherwise it developed into an interesting image.
