Finagling - Saturday Snapshot

I had fun this week playing with a lovely shot of me holding a small bouquet of flowers from my garden. My daughter Sara took the shot at a family party back in July ... we were all here at the grey cottage for a blueberry picking party. Blueberries weren't the only thing picked ... the kids each got bags of produce and flowers from the garden, whatever they wanted to take with, as they headed back to 'their worlds'.




This week, I played with the photo at a website called Big Huge Labs. It's a neat place for you to play for free with your jpg's ... have fun! Here is a sample of what I did with an app called FX.



 
 
#1
 


#1 reminds me of doing blockprints in art class or crayon rubbings ... it's called edges effect.





#2

How about this one?  #2 is like a lesson in pointillism - it's called monochrome effect.




#3


Finally, there's my favorite - it's called negative effect. Blue is my favorite color ... and I'm loving that black-eyed Susan!

This photoshare is a part of Alyce's weekly blogpost called Saturday Snapshot ... head on over to athomewithbooks perhaps you can share a snapshot of yours or just enjoy the variety of visual creativity! Happy Saturday!

  6. I love how the flowers match your shirt in the first shot, and they are just glowing in the last one. :) I can definitely see how it would be addictive playing with photos on that site - thanks for sharing!

  7. That first shot is stunning - I love the riot of colors. And Number 1 transformation is my favorite; it really looks like an artist's representation of the shirt and flowers. Really captivating.

  10. I love the blockprint effect - but I've always had a minimalist tendency to beauty.
    Great idea to share different effects on the same view.
