Stuck in the Genie lamp!

This was a challenge that Cathy in AZ gave our Guerilla Photography yahoo group. She let us download 4 of her photos to see what we could do with them.

More Guerills photos

On my walking trip through Historic Springboro I noticed these old looking foot pump water fountains...

The first photo is just cropped for design and the second is the same photo as the 1st but with the PS chrome filter applied. I can't get over that it now looks like the water fountain is working overtime and spilling all over the place!Well, that got me to thinking.......To begin with I really thought they were purely for decoration. My curiosity got the better of me and I just had to try to see if they worked...... (I am also an incurable button pusher!) and was greatly suprised to find out that they DO work!

Guerilla Photography

Here I go again.....I'm taking a WONDERFUL class in "Guerilla Photography" with Jessica Wesolek, http://www.cre8it.com/ . The cool part of this on-line class is that no fancy cameras are allowed! Cell phones are the camera of choice! I'm lucky....Eric gave me a new ZNE5, T-Mobile phone that has a 5 mega pixel camera in it....it has zoom capability, macro, landscape, the ability to change white balance...a whole bunch of fancy camera goodies! Learned a whole bunch of new things in this class....but the really great thing about it is that it has forced me out of my "comfort" zone into the world of assignments where we have to go somewhere to find photos...........(Me NO likes to go out by myself & take photos!) but I'm really really glad that I have! Phone photos are deffinitely NOT the best quality & the major part of this class is learning how and what to do with them to turn them into visually pleasing works of art! The first photo I took at a local restaurant and has spawned the next 2 photos....

BUMMER!

I spent most of yesterday morning trying to figure out how to use my new phones ability to send directly to Blogger..............NO SUCCESS! I eventually found the"issues" section in the help. T-Mobile is currently not supported by Blogger due something that T-Mobile changed on thier end....I sure hope they can fix it because I LOVE my new phone! I can still post phone pics, but I have to do it through my puter...

I took one last night of a hyacinth bulb that my friend gave me in December....I had to keep it in the fridge until Jan. 26th...then brought it out & watered.......LOOK what it looks like now!!!!

Still playing around with picture placement........so who knows what this will look like. HAHAHA! I forgot to rotate..............but the photo turned our good.

New photos!

Guess what?! I figured out how to do multiples!...duh...all I had to do was click add another photo. Today I'm going to my "girlie" lunch............and will take some photos with my new phone. My next project is to publish directly to the blog! Now to see what this post looks like, because this part I'm editing in seperately.......
