Get Pushed Challenge #422

I've sort of tried many of the settings on my primary camera one time or another but mostly use the same ones. The setting(s) I chose are the camera effects, which contains 13 different effects and some of those have multiple settings. I chose a subject on my bookcase and took a photo using each on of the different effects then chose 5 to spotlight. The only editing/processing I did was to crop the photos and put them together into a collage. I see the differences from the original (no effects) photo, but think for the most part I will post-process my photos to get some of the effects. Some of the others I don't even see much difference. Those weren't selected to spotlight, toy camera and minature for example.
A great challenge, I think there are so many bits of the camera we don't use (some for good reason!) and it's fun to explore the differences. Neat collage.
@jamibann It's doubtful that I use these settings much. I had hopes for one called Toy Camera and one called Minature, neither of which showed up here. I really couldn't see they did much.
@judithdeacon I agree Judith. It was a good challenge. I think one problem is that cameras don't come with good manuals anymore. The settings are just there and one is left to one's own devices to figure out what the camera can do and how to do it.
@tunia I like the look, but have done this type of image in photoshop. I guess it would save me some time to just switch to the setting on the camera. But usually it's an afterthought when process a photo like this.
@kathyboyles I did. Thank you. I saw some other things in the settings I need to check out more. I don't really know what they do and I need to spend time with them. It is difficult to find out how to use them.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks for the tip Jackie. I'll keep trying them.
