Trash by olivetreeann

Trash

Did I REALLY want to post a picture of my trash today? No! So I shot it in sepia tone and prettied it up in Picnik.
what a trashy shot. LOL

Only you could "pretty" up trash, Ann. Still the processing Queen!!

@karenann lol Karenann- I tell you- looking at it there on the floor, taking a picture of it, I kept thinking, "This is disgusting! I can't post this!" Finally, I thought, "It's just kleenex, why don't I shoot it in sepia? At least it won't look so blatantly like used tissue!" To me the whole thing was gross!

haha! Great idea...and it's perfect today...because it was trash day! And I remembered to put it out.

@mrssmith lol Carla- ours is Tuesday and I didn't think of taking a shot of the cans at the curb. However, I don't know if that would have been any better!

Fun! You can even begin to create shapes and creatures out of the trash.

Nicely done Ann

Well one man's trash is another's treasure, at least they say.

"Waste not, want not!"

very cool editing!

@beachradish oh dear- creatures out of the trash- that sounds scary!! thanks beachradish!
@bkbinthecity thanks Brian!
@digitalrn thanks Rick. I'm pretty certain there are no treasures in this particular trash basket!
@allie912 lol Allison! I would have to say "want not" on this one!

@tbats22 Thanks Tiara! It's the posterize effect in sepia.
March 29th, 2012  
I agree with Rick! Well done!

Funny! Creative and original. What your brain comes up with after 453 pictures posted and you need yet another one.
March 29th, 2012  
LOL are you feeling O.K.,. i mean with all those tissues maybe you have allergies or something!! Great Sepia Tone i figured out that the Sepia really does touch up alot off my mistakes so if you see one of mine in Sepia you will know why now!! lol! Hope you are feeeling ok!!
March 29th, 2012  
Great processing!!
March 29th, 2012  
Hey - this looks just like mine!! :)
March 29th, 2012  
And how pretty it is! You did well for a photo you didn't want to take.

Photogenic trash

@httpgeffed Thanks Colleen!
@pandorasecho Thanks Dixie! Half brain, half eyes. I just look very carefully at what's around me. But then, you do the same thing with your stories. You ask yourself, "What else could happen to Duffy?" (I hope I remembered his name correctly!).
@ellimae lol I'm fine, it's allergies! Just the typical ones and nothing serious. I'm not a big fan of allergy pills, so I blow my nose a lot! Sepia tone and b/w can be very forgiving!!

@kimmistephens Thanks Kimmi!
@filsie65 lol Thanks Phil!
@nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole! The other shot was a picture of a garbage can- just as unappealing!!
@peterdegraaff haha Peter- only on 365!
March 29th, 2012

This is what my trashcan looks like during spring and fall. Allgergies hit me hard.
March 29th, 2012  
That is definitely a creative shot. Who would ever think of taking pic of one's trash. And yet you did and so nicely.
March 29th, 2012  
Cool!
March 29th, 2012  
oooh i was going to comment on this last night but i got distracted by something. this looks mysterious/intriguing. you know how some detectives would fish through their target's garbage just to get information? or an industrial spy trying to get some info on your business or something? yeah, that's what came to mind when i saw this first! intriguing! excellent processing, ann.

@inertie Thank you Inertia!
@rayg86 Thanks Ray! I hear you!!
@sangwann Thank you Dione!
@paulavdmerwe Thank you Paula!

Someone's trash is another person's art. Great processing!

@prttblues lol Thanks Bev!
March 30th, 2012  
Looks like art to me! :)

@potsbypam lol Pam- believe me, it's trash! But thank you!
March 31st, 2012  
Just shows what can be done with the most mundane of pics! Well done, Ann!!

@kloud Thank you Bonnie! This is another shot that was saved by processing. Rather boring in color, but much more interesting in sepia and posterized!
