May Photo Hunt Challenge

This is the may challenge. I found some of the themes very hard. LOL even more finding a spring activity when Autumn has just hit us with full blast. It is getting cold down here now. No spring in sight. At least I am in the winterless north (who ever thought of that one, it gets cold).

  1. Wind
  2. Sprout
  3. Fresh
  4. Vibrant
  5. Unique
  6. Wet
  7. Lines
  8. A Spring Activity
  9. Reading Material
  10. One-Point Perspective Lines
  11. Something Juicy

For all the entries head on over to photohuntchallenges.com

Wind
Clouds getting blown in the wind.
I learnt this back when I was at the hang gliding school (didn’t end up finishing the course because the weather was never really on my side). But when the clouds are pulled long like the yellow ones, it is the wind blowing over them and pulling them out into that shape. You can’t see the wind but you know it is there just the way the clouds are shaped. Now I hope I did remember that correctly.

Wordless Wednesday #14

 Linking up once again with a wordless wensday, But this time with a little more then one photo, and a bit of a story behind it (kinda the reson I had a hard time finding anything els to take photos of)

Over at Ramblings and Photos by Ashley Sisk each week there is a scavanger hunt for photos. I didn't take part of last weeks challange I was too bussy trying to get ONE photo. Now this photo was the effect of Bokeh my first thought was what is it. So with a bit of help with google I found out what it is, now how to take photos of it.

Well first lets try with a finger to focas on and a tree with the light coming through the back ground

Ok, now that one didn't even foucus, but the back ground worked.

Lets try again, ok finger in foucus, bokeh effect there.

So we went for a walk through the forest, trying to take photos with the kids in from for a subject. I just couldn't get the back ground blury, so grab photoshop and do it there. Looks ok.

Then putting all that to a fail. Today, I go to open up a photo, to edit for wordless wednsday, just to see it has that effect. I was like WOW. I took one, but didn't even try to. So I think I am better at taking photos by chance with an effect then MAKING an effect happen.

Here is my photo.
