Winter Sunshine

… streaming in through the blinds, while blog hopping. It was difficult to read, so I picked up the camera and had some fun with Photoshop. This post was 10 minutes of fun.

The blog on the screen is A Mad Tea Party.

    great post. interesting how instead of turning the monitor away, or doing something to keep out the sunshine, you thought to take pictures and then use filters…that’s what gives jugalbandi its life, i think. the unexpected twist to something quite commmonplace! :yes:

    Hah! photoshop schmotoshop!

    When we were young, we did not have all this fancy stuff. We had to take our cameras, turn a small ring on the lens to see if the split screen on the viewfinder would converge, click, wait to repeat this 24 or 36 times. Then we had to manually undo the roll of film, taking care to not roll it completely into the spool.

    We then took it into a dark room, where we mixed the chemicals and ran the film through it and waited for it to turn into a picture. We then took the negatives and placed them on a screen and projected the image onto a sheet of photographic paper.

    Then we got to see that the picture we took really sucked.

    Kids these days are so spoilt :yak:


    and the tale had a happy ending. you went and bought a nikon dslr. :D - b
