35 Degrees C by maggiemae

35 Degrees C

That's 95 deg F.
Out exploring the streets around the apartment and found this water park where three boys and a hat were playing. Purposely chose to unfocus it to get the bokeh of the water drops.
Across the road were lots of chairs and a stage by a big church. It was St Anthony's Feast today.

Three good things:
1. John's exercise for the day is to pull up the roller blinds in our rooms.....
2. Looking at things to do round Ottawa and the canal cruises sound cooling and interesting.
3. Lovely spicy sausages and mashed potatoes for our first home cooked dinner.
Nice effect, it looks fabulous. it is as if the 35 degree heat is causing a shimmering heat haze.

I would love it to be 35 degrees C here at the moment. We have had so much rain here since the beginning of winter and after a rain free day today it has just started pouring again tonight.

@onewing Thanks Babs - probably thought that too- heat haze - even though there wasn't one!

Love it !

Love this, the soft focus turns the children into anyone's children. I can feel the heat and the water spray!

Great candid shot

Great way to cool down in the heat . Like the soft focus
June 12th, 2017  
Nice - I like the (un) focus
June 12th, 2017  
The focus works so well and also serves the purpose of disguising the models :)

That's warm for most places!

Wow -- this is GREAT to capture the heat and solution of playing in the water. I love this!

They look like they are having such fun.

@paulaw Never thought of that but you are right, thanks Paula!
June 12th, 2017  
You have captured the heat and love the off focus and bokeh
June 12th, 2017  
We learn so much here, a great effect maggie!
June 12th, 2017  
@happypat And as Paula @paulaw says, it blurs the faces so you can't identify the youngsters if that is a problem!

You have chosen a perfect style for processing this photo. It becomes a picture of anyone's children and a perfect illustration of summertime fun. FAV. Tell John not to overdo on the exercise !😳

@grammyn Ha ha,Katy! @grammyn! He answered - he will only pull up one at a time and have a rest in between!

Blimey that's hot must be a popular place :)

could be titled memory....has a feeling of distance between you and the subject. Interesting treatment
June 12th, 2017  
I love the qualities in the out of focus scene. Such a good choice to depict the lazy summer fun and the heat.
June 12th, 2017  
I really like your chosen focus
June 12th, 2017  
@hrs I like that thought,, thank you, Helen!
June 12th, 2017  
Thanks for putting both of the photos in - I like your processing here - a soft impression of children at play.

These two could double for my grandsons- in fact they'd be right there in the water playing with them! Great shot!

Very unique, artistic shot!
