An Interlude of Creative Effects

Fireworks

Saturday night I was at a wedding reception which ended with fireworks. Below are some of the pictures I took. They don't reflect the real scene since my exposures were too long for that. But nevertheless, I thought they were fascinating images.

Buttercups Transformed

Those of you who have been regular readers of my blog know that now and then I like to play with photos and see what I can do with them. This is one of those posts. I took a photo of a small clump of yellow buttercup flowers and tried a variety of effects resulting in the following pictures. Even men have to play sometimes. ;)

Crocus Keleidoscopes

As many of you all know, I play around with keleidoscopic and abstract art from time to time. Here is the most recent fun with that. The original photo is the first photo in the previous post.

Designs and Illusions

Lake and Sky On Fire

Tree and Sky

The first photo is the original from which the rest came. Some of these look best in their enlarged format.

Sunrise Transformations

Below are transformations of a sunrise photo from a few posts back. I haven't been out hiking real recently or spending time with my blog due to feeling a bit under the weather; but hopefully that is beginning to change. :)

Transformation of a snowy night

Frost on My Apartment Window

We have been having a number of days of freezing weather. I have been enjoying watching the frost on one of the windows of my apartment. Again I love the patterns. :)

Keleidoscopes

All these keleidoscopes came from the same original photo. Patterns can be intriguing. Many of these patterns I could imagine being on ceilings in museums.
