Power by olivetreeann

Power

You won't get power if you're not plugged in.
Great photo Ann, I couldn't work out what it was when I viewed the small image. I like the feel of the processing.

@nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole!
@paulavdmerwe Thanks Paula!
@la_photographic Thanks Laura!
@1invisiblegrl Thanks Virginia!

I really appreciate your kind words. I feel I am really struggling with this June Word Challenge and relying on processing for so many of the shots. The words are just not capturing my imagination as much as I thought they would and now I can't wait to get it over with! Now, most people would just stop, but that would bother me that I didn't finish what I started!! So on I go- seven more words on the list and I'll be done. Long sigh....

And yes Virginia I will absolutely admit that this was probably one of the worst shots I've ever taken but the processing gave it some spunk.

This is very cool, love the yellow. I am following the june words & am puzzled what to do with a few of them, hopefully they will just fall into place & I won't have to chase them. It's a great challenge

wow this is very interesting Ann, love the newspaper-like processing
June 12th, 2012  
Cool shot

Hey I was going to write what @kerristephens wrote so I'll just say "ditto"!
June 12th, 2012  
Very cool editing!

I need to plug myself back into the gym.

I'll ditto what Bev said.....electrifying processing + it goes great with the word "power."
June 12th, 2012  
A great double entendre!! I thought of it immediately as a "religious" message! Wonderful. So many meanings to this photo .... beautiful and love the processing.
June 12th, 2012  
brilliant idea!!!
June 12th, 2012  
Great photo and play on words

Ah yes, many times i forget to plug in an electrical appliance and then, find myself wondering..why won't this radio etc.. work ! LoL! Spiritually, it is the same, as I forget to plug in to my higher power, my battery drains until I am no used to anyone least of all myself!

@sharritta Thank you Sharon!
@prttblues Thank you Bev!
@kimmistephens Thank you Kimmi!
@peterdegraaff Rock on Peter!
@wenbow Thanks Wendy! I'm not liking it as much as I thought I would. I feel I'm relying a lot on processing to capture the words and a few of them are really giving me trouble! I know most people would just drop it and move on, but that would really bother me that I didn't finish it!!
@daveanajao Thanks Dave! I think I put this through the "Retro Comic" effect in iPiccy before I did the sunburst overlay.
@kerristephens Thanks Kerri!
@allie912 Thanks Allison!
@salza Thanks Sally!
@rayg86 Thanks Ray!
@cimes1 Thank you Carole!
@karenann Thanks Karenann! You made my day- I was hoping that people would read it that way!
@woot Thanks Davide!
@digitalrn Thanks Rick!
@potsbypam Thanks Pam!

Thank you all so much. I'm not crazy about this shot- or the processing, but I'm so glad you all like it!!
June 13th, 2012  
you can't get any more 'power' than that! cool processing. i haven't the slightest idea how to photograph power. i'm waiting for a thunderstorm and yet i don't want to get wet! hahaha. aha! i think i just got an idea.

@summerfield Thanks Vikki! After photographing the engine of my car and not liking any of the shots I processed, and photographing an assortment of home appliance power "buttons" and not liking any of them, I shot the plug out of desperation. Added a couple of effects and decided to post it even though I don't really like it. I'm not really enjoying this list of words as much as I thought I would. I find myself relying more on processing and less on the shot. Not happy with that! Oh well- I'm in it now and even though some might just stop- I'd be fusing with myself for not finishing it if I did that! But at least I had a breakthrough with "flamboyant" today (which I'll post tomorrow). Glad that one's done!!

@olivetreeann - isn't it something that stuff sometimes just come right off the bat and with others you struggle? and sometimes it's the easiest word you (or i) would struggle the most. like power, for instance. i've photographed power lines, the light standard outside my building, i thought of taking a sneak pic of my boss (because he's a big shot these days running the darn law firm) but that one is kind of hard. did what you did, too, with the appliances and the car. and it's just not what i'm looking for. but now i think i got it. i just have to go tomorrow and shoot it. :-)
June 13th, 2012  
Fantastic effects!
June 13th, 2012  
@mrssmith Thanks Carla!
@summerfield Now I'll something to look forward to tomorrow! (o:
June 13th, 2012  
Nice processing, they look like little faces :-)
June 13th, 2012  
Very pretty!
June 13th, 2012  
Great processing. Very creative shot.
June 13th, 2012  
@vposey Thanks Vickie! I've always thought that!
@groovygirlrn Thanks Sheri!
@sangwann Thanks Dione! It's not one of my best, but folks have received it so well, I really appreciate that.
