Hot and Humid  by olivetreeann

Hot and Humid

Well, after a week of hot, hot, hot days with temperatures in the 90's and humidity as thick as pea soup, the weather for today's Try 4 July words of hot and humid was... in the low 80's and had not one ounce of humidity in it! It was wonderful!! I even turned off the fans! So I took an over-exposed shot of the sunny deck, added the water color effect to give it a touch of color and voila- this is what a hot and humid day looks like in the Poconos.
It has cooled down beautifully, and tonight it is to be in the 50's, wow, what a relief!

Love the way the colors pop with the exposure choice. Brilliant yellows convey the heat.

Thank you Timothy, Taffy and Tracey! Wow- talk about alliteration!

I like your creativity in this treatment. Much better to look at than to live through. I think we are getting some of that less humid weather here in Richmond tomorrow.

another masterpiece! excellent!
July 25th, 2013  
Awesome

Your processing turned out really well. I would welcome some hot weather today after an overnight low of -5 degrees c.

This definitely makes it look very hot

Nicely done. I have met someone who knows about water gilding and was advised not to lay the gold when the weather is humid. So I'm stuck, waiting for some north winds to continue.
July 25th, 2013  
Really cool processing. I hanker after days with temperatures in the 90s! I'm really not a winter person, I don't like being cold!
July 25th, 2013  
Hehe! Great idea. Your pic definitely feels hot and humid to me (and I have the heater on here to keep warm!)
July 25th, 2013  
I can feel the temperature.
July 25th, 2013  
I like this effect -- like a bright watercolor.

You did not get too lucky with the words you had to shoot and your weather! But you did a great job of "Creating the weather" When I need a certain kind of weather...rain...sun...etc.. I will call you and get you to make me some!
July 25th, 2013  
Oh this is hot!!! Love the processing.
July 25th, 2013  
What a fun photo and I love the processing!
July 25th, 2013  
This looks like summer heat for sure. You are so good at creating mood
July 25th, 2013  
Great use of the camera and apps to give a colourful and dry look to this scene! Dry being not humid!
July 25th, 2013  
Definitly looks hot and humid. Glad you had a great non humid day
July 25th, 2013  
Lovely exposure! Today was cooler and less humid here too. I like the respite from the hot and humid weather. Your shot does create the mood of hot and humid.

@allie912 Thank you Allison- absolutely true! It's fun to look at the shot and after two wonderfully cool days, I really don't want to go back to this weather at all. However, reality is it's still July and we have August and September to get through before the cool days are here to stay.
@summerfield Thank you Vikki!
@kerristephens Thank you Kerri!
@nicolecampbell Thank you Nicole! Brrrrr! I hope you have some nice heat to keep you toasty warm at home. But I must say your winter shots have been beautiful so far!
@bkbinthecity Thank you Brian!
@sangwann Thank you Dione! That must be so frustrating! The clock is looking beautiful though, so it will be worth waiting for the right temperatures to apply the gilding.
@salza Thank you Sally! I don't like the extremely hot days, and I don't really like the extremely cold days. They both effect my arthritis and make it hard to get around. I like the temps in the 70's or 80's. And no humidity!
@alia_801 Thanks Alia! When you can't shoot it, process it!! That might be my 365 motto.
@yaorenliu Thank you Yao!
@dakotaburns Thank you Donald! Actually it is a watercolor effect with some fiddling with the colors to bring out the yellows.
@espyetta Thank you Marybeth! haha I think I have created a new motto for my 365 project: When you can't shoot it, process it!
@jesperani Thank you Jennifer!
@stownsend Thank you Suzie!
@pandorasecho Thank you Dixie! I thought, "Hot and humid- looks like melting butter" hence all the yellow.
@maggiemae Thanks Maggie! Whenever it's hot and humid here, it feels like everything is melting.
@henrir Thanks Henri! And we had another nice one today too. I am a happy camper!
@daisy Thanks Kathryn! I think you folks also have the same kind of hot and humid weather we do here. It has always bothered me, but even more so now with my arthritis.

Hi Ann! Yes it has been so hot! I haven't had ac all summer and now i get a new ac and the weather is beautiful! :)
July 26th, 2013  
Bev
Nice shot, Ann! :) Cool processing. You definitely made it look hot and humid! 80s still requires fans for me. I don't open my place up until temps get to at least 79 or lower!! They are nice now! Good job on this one!! :)

@potsbypam Hi Pam! Good to see you here again! lol I know what you mean- on Friday last week I decided in spite of the fact that the room I normally put the ac in was stacked from front to back, floor to ceiling with furniture and books as we are painting the living room, I was still going to go to the crawl space and get the little ac to put in there. I did, nearly wrenched my back out in the process and now have a huge black and blue where I rested the corner of the ac while I was getting it into the house! I used it a little bit on Saturday- and then the weather turned nice! I guess I'm not really complaining. I'd rather have the nice weather- but why did I wait so long?!
@prttblues Thanks Bev! I'm really enjoying the cooler temps, but I know it will be short-lived. After all it's still July and we have August and September to go through still.
