Hocus Pocus by maggiemae

Hocus Pocus

This is a deliberate mistake. I focused, using macro, on a dark surface very close to the camera then turned around and shot the rest of the room which was in sun. I quite liked the effect. My piano stars!

I mean to add, thank you for taking my harbour moon shot to the PP! It makes me feel very important amongst such great talent!
It is a strange effect of light -- sort of ghost - like.

I really like it.

So clever !! but oh ! it makes me want to squint !!

Interesting effect. I like it. This reminds me of the ghost images I get when I make monoprints.

It's good to push the boundaries and experiment..... this is abstract but not enough to not be ale to tell what the story is.... I'll have to try this!

@beryl I think it is like seeing the scene with half closed eyes!
May 27th, 2013  
Oh wow....Fabulous effect! You're right, it is fun and important to play and learn all the time .

Is that a baby grand piano? My dream!!!
May 27th, 2013  
@gailmmeek its a big keyboard, Gail, disguised as a baby grand!

@worthitall Thanks Rashella - this is big-hearted of you!

I see the piano! And a couch next to it? Interesting effect! I like it! And I like that you tried something out of the box! Dare to be different is my motto and you succeeded!
May 28th, 2013  
The piano is what caught my eye. You can't consider it a mistake anymore! Brava!

You sometimes see shots like this in movies as they look dreamily across the room. Very clever.
May 28th, 2013  
There's a neat mood to this! Nice shot!
May 28th, 2013  
Very dreamlike, great effect - talk about thinking outside the box!
May 28th, 2013  
something very nice about this...like it!
May 28th, 2013  
Great Mistake!! ,Love how all the top surfaces Glow!!!

Like the thinking and the effect very much. It has a water colour painting look to it.
May 29th, 2013  
Just beautiful - I think it might be difficult to get if i was trying for it. Love it.
