September 28th - Beginner Ballerinas

Beginner Ballerinas:

I made it into a watercolor, partly to hide the identity of those in the picture, and partly because it was just asking me to do so. I adjusted one girls foot that wasn't in exactly the right position, and added a skirt onto another for continuity.

Bonus shots:
This tripped me out. I was walking down the sidewalk, and saw the word, "tree" spray painted here. I'm wondering if the city is planning on putting a tree there, or if someone thinks there should be a tree there and is making a suggestion? So strange...

This is one my child took, of a lamp. I cropped it, adjusted the levels, and put a thin border on it. I think it turned out rather well.

September 18th - Maurice

Maurice, the Home Improvement Store's resident pigeon. Watercolored because it was fuzzy. He's got a weird bump on the back of his head. It looks like a Mohawk. Pity you can't see it in this picture. He wouldn't hold very still for me.


And, this is Wally, an African Gray parrot, who was rescued from the SPCA. He's so sweet, and loved posing for the camera!

September 7th - Sony Camera wishes and Panorama dreams...

Here's the best of the lot, today. I was walking through a store (I won't say the name of the store, but if you were to guess the color of their logo being red, I'd say you've hit the bulls-eye!), and stopped to drool over the cameras. I want this one. I've been wanting a point and shoot, and this one is small enough to fit into my pocket. I don't have one that is that small other than my cell phone. This Sony has 14 mp and has a really neat panorama feature where you just sweep across the scene and it puts it all together into a panoramic shot for you. Very wide angled, but very, very neat!

This shot turned out to be a black and white in color, and I wasn't even going for that!
