I've only recently come to use textures in my photos, so when I saw this, I had to go with the array I had in it's natural state before me! (This has no post processing...just the texture of the drops of rain on the screen...) It was a good day to change plans and stay in. baking our annual Cinnabon recipe for our friend, Mike. They've risen and are ready to bake...
Oh my, won't the house smell good! ...and we're expecting snow tonight...
@ethelperry@pyrrhula@snowy@fugitivemoments@skipt07 Because I think some of you think I did a lot of textural post processing here, I hasten to add that there is none! I was rather enchanted the way the screen held each ddroplet, so there were both textures. I stood back to take my photo , focusing on the screen and thus, blurring the house on the street behind us... I thought the colouration came out so beautifully subtle. No effort was spent on this one!
@Weezilou - I knew it was from the screen. I can vaguely remember a photo in a photography magazine back in my early years in photography that used a screen for an effect that has stayed with me.
@danette Well thank you Danette! I'll take that as a compliment! Funny how it is that we adore Nova Scotia and the pace of life up here; we love sharing that! So far people have gotten in touch one at a time and, without counting exactly, I'd say about 8 365 people have been here in the last 4 years since I began... My friends back home have my number and there's hardly a one who hasn't come to visit!
@Weezilou@danette Louise, I love it. I would have never thought about doing something like this........ Danette -- Louise and Ken are wonderful hosts in their home and perfect tour guides for the Lunenburg area. We visited them in 2010....... Lovely people and a colorful and cute town they live in.
@aglennc@danette I'd met Anita's daughter, Linda, at a 365 gathering in LA, and Linda told me her folks were coming to Lunenburg. That's how we met and I think you were JUST beginning 365. And in 2010, that would have mage your our first visitors from the group!
Really beautiful, and a true testament to finding beauty where others might overlook a simple scene seen through the window screen. My mom used to do a lot of cross stitch needlepoint, and this reminds me of those patterns. Just lovely....
@merteskid Sorry about passing that info your way. They're fabulous, but are a two-person job! http://365project.org/Weezilou/365/2013-10-28
