Blur

IMG_4004

Ever taken some throwaway snapshots that had some cool colors or interesting subject matter, but were taken from the wrong vantage point?  That is what happened at sunset tonight.  Instead of tossing these, I added a simple blur effect to try and make things better.  The first photo has a circular blur, and the second photo has a linear blur.  I didn’t fall in love with either one, but the colors of the sunset were nice.

For those who are wondering, I have added the original photo from the first edit below.  Now you can see everything before the blur was added, including all of the nice colors from the sunset and the not so nice reflection from the window I was standing behind. :-/

Up-Up-Up With a Fish

It rained all day today, and then it rained some more.  After work, I find myself in the Round Rock Public Library, where they were holding a demonstration of a 3D printer in action.  I rounded the corner, and found this piece of Art (number 923 out of 2500).  Pretty cool, and totally appropriate for today’s weather.

“The sun did not shine.
It was too wet to play.
So we sat in the house
All that cold, cold, wet day.”
