Can You Say ETSOOI?


LOL! This sucks and I damned well know it! But it was the thought that counts...or something like that.

Ya see, it's like this. I hadn't taken a photo all day. Had hoped to get over to Staples Center for the Grammy Awards, but the streets were blocked off every which way, so that took care of THAT idea.

Anyway, I was driving through one of the run down residential neighborhoods just north of downtown and I see a bunny! Yes a BUNNY, right there on the sidewalk just up ahead.
Yay, my shot for the day. :-) My heart leaped with joy as I slowly drove forward. Well, bunny was having none of that and hopped up the steps. By the time I got to the steps, he was in the shadows. I grabbed my phone and shot anyway.

Um, it was so dark, you could hardly see anything. So...ETSOOI to the rescue. Sepia and lightening and some other ETSOOI junk and here you have it! :-) Actually, if you squint and try really hard, you can almost see his gray and white profile on the top step.

I like this, very atmospheric

I am not sure I can actually see him but the ETSOOI is really working for this shot!!!

You really are too hard on yourself! My first look at this I thought so beautiful, looks old world like it might be in another country. Looked for the bunny by magnifying and enlarging and I found him. What does ETSOO mean?

Haha, if you hadn't told me I wouldn't have spotted it but now I do! It's a quite attractive shot, anyway, with all the editing.

E-Edit
T-The
S-Sh!t (or Sorryness)
O-Out
O-of
I-It

Basically, if you have a shot that is totally hopeless, edit it until it looks nothing like it did originally in hopes of making it look better...or at least very different. LOL
