Experimenting by maggiemae

Experimenting

Spent some hours trying to get the right effect of our home in B&W. This is sort of what I wanted.

Three good things;
1. A great morning of steady rain for our drought conditions. The farmers will be smiling!
2. I had to have a 'heart assessment' with a nurse as I had a high cholesterol count. She sent me away as a very low risk - 6%!
3.The peppers on my plant are turning red. I actually bought some and they are SO hot, even a piece the size of a pin head makes you go cross-eyed!
I like the processing and framing! You have a lovely home!

Beautiful home and beautiful processing

This looks somewhat like a negative. Like the style. Your home looks inviting.

looks like an infra-red photo - cool processing
February 9th, 2015  
Very strange indeed
February 9th, 2015  
Very fascinating edit that gives it the appearance of a negative print some how! Don't eat the red peppers!!

Nicely processed, great job.

Beautiful capture!

i was thinking infra red as well. what kind of peppers?

I love your house and your processing as well, Maggiemae. The leaves in the foreground are so cool looking too. I am glad you got much needed rain. We did too. All we get helps our drought as well. Had no idea you are in a drought. So glad you are ok on the low percentage. Wow, those are some hot peppers you bought. I do not eat anything spicy and the worst when anything has spice to it. Guess you will not be using the peppers you bought. Hopefully your peppers from your garden will be fine to use and enjoy. FAV

Cool processing- although it looks like there might have been a nuclear disaster or something that happened to color it that way!

@chard HOT peppers, Richard - probably called chilli which is illogical!

@olivetreeann That comment made me shudder, Ann! I liked to think of it as in the moonlight and there is a fairy just behind one of the bushes who is going to come out and dance on the lawn! Thats what I did when I was young - like a heap younger!
February 10th, 2015  
Oooh, this is very cool.
February 10th, 2015  
@maggiemae Ooops! Didn't mean to sound so dooms-dayish. Actually I can see the moonlight- as we have nights where the moon lights up the backyard in a very magical way- especially in the summer when the leaves are on the trees. They make all these interesting shadows. We used to go out in the early evening and catch fireflies when I was a girl. Don't see as many of them now- but it's where we live. They like grass and fields- neither of which is near us!

@olivetreeann When I say, shudder, Ann - its all good, not bad! Emotions are to be experienced!

Very cool shot, Maggie. I like the negative effect. Glad you left your medical with a good rating. It's always nice. I used to love spicy food but haven't been able to have it since an operation so I think a piece the size of a pin head would not be good for me.

I like this, it's kind of 1960's mono chrome tropical and made me think of my husband's grandmother's house in Jamaica.
February 10th, 2015  
@flygirl Yes thats a nice take on it - as if the sun is so hot and bright its shimmering!
February 10th, 2015  
Your experiment turned out great. I haven't done a lot in B&W until recently. fav
February 10th, 2015  
Very cool processing. SO fun to play and try new things.
February 10th, 2015  
@eyesmile Thanks Gena but you also want (well, I do) constructive criticism!
February 10th, 2015  
I really like the way you've processed this Maggiemae. It's different and interesting.
February 10th, 2015  
wonderful processing and great framing. Exquisite.
February 10th, 2015  
Nice processing!
February 10th, 2015  
Beautiful home and garden! Love your processing.
February 10th, 2015  
Nice one, I also like the processing :-)
February 10th, 2015  
Neat processing,like the detail in the foreground, gives the impression of blistering heat.
February 10th, 2015  
Great processing - feel you could have been taken over by aliens ...
February 10th, 2015  
Like an old film negative. Neat
February 10th, 2015  
Very interesting and different effect; great comp and framing.
February 11th, 2015  
Very cool processing....yes, it does look like a film negative, or infrared....almost wish there was a spot of red.....maybe those red hot peppers?!
