30 Days in June- Day 25

I worked at Judy's again today and while I was heading home, I caught some of the work being done on Route 209 too. The traffic was just about to move as I turned my camera on, so it was a really quick snap, but I liked how random the shot is. You can even see a bit of my side mirror in it.

[Allison Williams]

Very spontaneous and cool. The framing is perfect for the shot.

[Mrs. Smith]

What an interesting picture to happen upon.

[Colleen]

Nice street work~

[Kerri]

Great catch

[Elizabeth Youngs]

Cool shot!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@allie912 Thanks Allison! I processed this one in Befunky- they call this a grunge frame. Seemed quite fitting for the subject matter!
@mrssmith Thank you Carla!
@httpgeffed Thanks Colleen!
@kerristephens Thank you Kerri!
@lyoungs1023 Thanks Elizabeth!

[Wendy Bowden]

Great capture, like your framing

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@wenbow Thanks Wendy- there's a really artsy free site called BeFunky.com which is where I processed this one and added the frame.

[karenann]

Great candid capture of this, Ann ....love the lighting and the colors too. Wonderful processing ....really awesome.

[Kimmi]

pretty

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@karenann Thanks Karenann! It was a really quick shot- almost a last minute decision to take it, so it was kind of fun that it came out this well.
@kimmistephens Thanks Kimmi!

[Rich Hubbard]

Interesting photo, tis the season, a lot of construction in our area also.

[summerfield]

your side mirror blended in very well with the scenery. wonderful shot, ann.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@rhubbard Thanks Rich! There is a joke going around that the new state motto is "Construction Ahead". (Of course that's not new but it still sounds funny!)
@summerfield Thanks Vikki! It was showing a bit more but the frame covers some of it really well.

[Ellen Young]

Love it!! and it looks like we both had the same idea with the pic-monkey frames!! lol!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@ellimae Thanks Ellen- this one actually comes from BeFunky.com (another free on-line photo processing site)- it's called their "Grunge" frame- but yes, it's very similar to the new ones they just added to Picmonkey.

[Sally Ings]

We are also surrounded by roadworks as the road is being upgraded! It has been estimated that Tulbagh will have road upgrade work going on for the next 3 to 5 years!

[alia_801]

Cool capture of the works in progress (and your wing mirror!) Excellent frame to match it too.

[Dione Giorgio]

Lovely capture and framing.

[Rick Schies]

Some quick shooting on your part Ann

[Christie Hicks]

I love to stop and watch guys doing work with those kinds of huge machines. Love the processing. Very interesting shot.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@salza Thanks Sally! This project has been in full swing for about that time now. Sadly the work could have been done in half the time and for a lot less money- but government agencies and unions get in the way, usually for financial reasons- the longer the project the more money they make.
@alia_801 Thanks Alia! I thought so too!
@sangwann Thanks Dione!
@digitalrn Thanks Rick! It was one of those times the random shot just happened to work!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@christiehicks Thanks Christie! I processed this one in BeFunky. They have some very interesting effects that make the photo look like a painting. This effect is called underpainting- I liked how it brightened the sky and punched up the red hat but still kept the shot looking like a photo more than a painting. They also have some fun frames under the "Grunge" listing and I thought that was a good match with construction workers!

[D. Marie Williams More]

I like it! The blue of the sky really works against the muted colors of the machinery.

[Paula]

Great processing ... like the yellow against the blue :)

[Bev]

We all do it, Ann. This is a cool shot. I like the processing and the detail in it. A job well done :)

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Cool work shot. like the processing!

[Myrna O'Hara]

Oh the framing goes so well with this machinery shot.

[bkb in the city]

Nice snap shot. We have so much construction going on around here too

[Ulpi]

Cool shot! Love your processing!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@dmariewms Thanks Marie!
@paulavdmerwe Thanks Paula!
@prttblues Thanks Bev!
@ruthmouch Thanks Ruth!
@sailingmusic Thanks Myrna!
@bkbinthecity Thank you Brian!
@ulpiphotos Thank you Ulpi!

Thanks to all! It was a quick shot, but came out well. The processing was done in BeFunky.com which has a lot of free processing features including this "grunge" frame that, as you noted, went perfectly with this shot. There are also a number of effects which are labeled as "artsy". They process the picture to look more like a painting. This one is called underpainting and I like the way it retains more of the photo.

[Sharon]

Your framing works well here!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@twinsplusone Thanks Sharon! lol I had processed the picture with a different frame and then remembered this one- so I deleted the picture and started all over again- just for the "perfect" frame!

[Smitha]

I really like the processing on this. Very well captured too.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@smithak Thank you Smitha!

[Carole Imes]

Cool candid street shot and the framing works well with the subject.

[Dixie Goode]

I love the depth that the yellow gives to the deep blue sky

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@cimes1 Thanks Carole!
@pandorasecho Thanks Dixie!

[bruni]

Those last minute shots mostly turn out great..like your framing here too.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@bruni Thanks Bruni!

[Nicole Campbell]

Glad to see I am not the only one who takes sneaky shots from the car window :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@nicolecampbell lol Nicole- I do it all the time but they don't always come out as well as this one did!

[Laura]

That is a brilliant image. Love the framing.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@la_photographic Thanks Laura- it really was all chance that it came out this well. The frame is from BeFunky. They have a lot of artistic effects and frames there.
