Description

Hello ! Sometimes things happen and a photograph becomes different. It happened here, because the battery was almost flat and it didnt show the colors right. That made me want to play with it and the result is this. :) THanks for stopping by and for your kind comments to yesterdays post :) Have a nice and pleasant sunday. Gorgeous weather again today WOW ! The birds are singing so wonderfully. I can hear Blackbird, thrush, garden warbler, chaffinch and the cuckoo and a couble of other singers, that I am not sure, what name they have.

the result of your battery going flat was that you made this into a combination of a painting and an electron-microscope shot. (elektron microscope—one of those shots that shows molecular life in vivid detail.) You've done that before—made photos look like something from the microscopic realm, with all its strange and ultra-tactile details. Here it makes the flowers look like a little like strain of microscopic life...The filmmaker Orson Welles turned accidents into monumental scenes: He never let an accident pass...glad you shared this accident with the site rather than throwing it out; it shows that your eye never sleeps, it just keeps on looking for the picture 'waiting to come out'...

What an incredible contrast. This looks a bit barbequed, but that is an outlook from living in a desert. ;))) It is a wonderful, unique image, Helle.

How cool! When my battery dies, it just shuts off the camera with no special effects at all. Just bang - done. This is awesome! I love the colors. I'm glad you took this and used your creative powers on it - beautiful result!
