Blue Light Special!! by bluemoon

Blue Light Special!!

Ok, today I went to the mall today and frittered away the whole day....this is all I managed to come up. My Grandson insisted we ride the glass mall elevator down to the first floor where I tried to get a picture of the carousel but the elevator kept getting in the way!! Taken with my Fish Eye Lens...kind of has a sci-fi, spaceship feel to it.
Wow, that is cool! It does look like a spaceship!

Well that was fun wasn't it?

This is great, Paula, wonderful effect!
November 22nd, 2010  
Very cool shot!
November 22nd, 2010  
That's cool! I love the lines and the light.
November 22nd, 2010  
Really cool perspective. It turned out great!
November 22nd, 2010  
Very cool, spaceship type elevator. I love the color.

Thanks everyone for your nice comments! I actually went there specifically to get some colorful pictures of all the Christmas lights but a Mall Security Guard descended on me immediately while I was trying to shoot the lights from the upper level...scrooged! Told me they don't allow any pictures in the mall! Evidently he didn't notice all those people snapping away with their Iphones!! Oh well, I got away with this one in the elevator! :)

I like it...I will have to give that effect a try sometime. And thanks for the heads up about security. I have found that to be more and more common...so if we have to resort to using our cellphones, so be it...they all have great cameras in them now anyway ;-) Oh, and welcome to 365! You are in for a grand ride!!! Today is day 325 for me and I am seriously thinking about "re-upping." Thanks for the follow.

I need to try this effect--------looks pretty cool :o)
November 22nd, 2010  
Cool shot!!! Love the blue lighting... All the windows and reflective silver do give it a very "spacey" feel!!
November 22nd, 2010  
neat shot!
November 22nd, 2010  
Great shot, love the alienating effect you gave it.
November 22nd, 2010  
Amazing shot, Paula! I see the carousel in the left corner. This does look like a view from a spaceship. Well done! Can't believe we've reached a point where no photos are allowed of Christmas displays in a mall. Bah humbug!

i find glass elevators scarey but this is a great shot

@hwy61 Congratulations on 325 days and thanks for the welcome! So far I'm lovin it. It has already changed the way I "see" things....now I'm always on the lookout for THE picture! :)

@houdiniem Thanks! I hate them too but this one was really smooth...it didn't jerk or shudder like some of the older ones do! :)

@jonna @peggysirk @geertje @MangoFlamingo @bbm Thank you! I hesitated to post it...thought it was kind of weird but my DH & Grandson Joey thought it was cool so I did! Of course Joey is a huge Star Wars fan so that's why he liked it....otherwise, he's not all that impressed with my pictures! :)
November 22nd, 2010  
Super cool!!
November 22nd, 2010  
Beautiful effect, Paula! A fav for me.
November 22nd, 2010  
Very cool shot.

Love the fish eye effect and the blue makes it look otherworldly
November 22nd, 2010

@srechic @shemchin @monna @lala_land @isisweiss @bruni @wndswptlady Thank you for all your comments! :) The elevator was already curved but the fish eye just emphasized the curvature even more....it's great fun to see what come out of the camera after using it!!

A great instance where the fisheye shines--super cool!
November 23rd, 2010  
I love this - super cool, a fav!

Great shot. Cool effect.
November 23rd, 2010  
@girlie Thanks Robin! I'll have to give my grandson all the credit! He made me ride the elevator and said the picture was "cool"!! :)
November 23rd, 2010  
@aikiuser Thanks, I haven't had the fish eye long and don't use it a lot but it is a blast to play around with. I'm never sure what to expect!
November 23rd, 2010

Lovely
November 23rd, 2010  
@lynnmwatson @erlend Thank you....it turned out a lot weirder than I thought it was going to once I imported it. Half the time I never know what I'm going to end up! :)
November 24th, 2010
