taken through Samsung Galaxy S2, the filter i used is from the app MYTUBO.
I took this photo of a dried hydrangia with a blooming cherry tree several yards behind it. The light was just right for the pink of the cherry blooms, a touch of green from the new leaves and the blue of the sky to give a nice Bokeh effect backing for the brown of the dried hydrangia bloom! Photo taken with a Nikon D-60.
Taken on a Canon PowerShot G-11, at Amirim, Israel. Click to zoom-in, it was taken on macro and the resolution is great (you can see the very tiny hairs of the grasshopper).
I love how this praying mantis appears to pose as I took the picture.
Part of my 365 project on Flickr from years ago...
Hood ornament of a car at the National Auto Museum in Reno Nevada. And this is my 4th picture...I'm well aware that I've eliminated myself by breaking the rules...I just can't help posting up pictures!
Out of focus city lights from an airplane. Really, Really, Really out of focus. :) And my 3rd photo...so I'm eliminated twice. :)
Manipulated with Big Lens for iPhone, which I ultimately like the best out of all the apps reviewed here.
Taken on a Sony TX-10 waterproof point-and-shoot. It has an automatic "background defocus" Feature which fakes boke by takes 2 shots and overlaying blur onto the background... but I don't think I used it for this shot and don't know how to check.
I was in Tucson with my family and I had recently bought the MyTouch 4g Slide and was testing out the micro zoom on the 8MP camera. I decided to capture this ant as it was moving along the side walk and captured this stunning image.
Thomas orders purple contacts off of the internet and insists the he is now to be referred to as "TimeCat," whatever that means.
I'll eliminate myself again...by posting up multiple pictures but...I can't resist. Here's my most Martha Stewart-y Picture.
After a long rainy day of walking around in Central Park I came upon this large puddle on the ground. I put my camera next to hit and tried a long exposure. This is the result. Not much bokeh but a lot of blur.
My zombie costume with makeup that took 4 hours to do, but it turned out awesome! :)
I took this picture in my studio and did some post-processing work that fitted my mood best at this time. ;-)
This is a picture of myself and my boyfriends costumes. The 'scary' art is more the art on the face. Didn't really get to do much Photoshop sadly.
A photo of a friend I photoshopped into a mad but maybe not that menacing zombie, don't think it came out too bad, a little dark possibly on the bg...
Some of these links are now defunct, but still and all, a great resource for this week's Horror Photo Challenge!
This is what happened to my pumpkins, which were carved only two days ago. Somehow they became moldy and began expelling fluid—pumpkin juice—all over the place.
I thought this one was interesting. Long exposure while zooming out. All of the bright spots from the guitar became streaking lines. Maybe not that scary but I thought it was an interesting technique with an interesting result. Probably would have worked a lot better in a better location! My classroom isn't that interesting.
Taken with a fish-eye lens and a bit of help from the always wonderful FX Photostudio.
I took this photo with my Samsung h1. I hope you enjoy....
In response to Collin Erickson's awesome abstract light painting. And yes I know...I've already submitted 2 pictures. I'll eliminate myself again. :)
It's not really trapped. Just in some huge wooden pen at some local mini-zoo.
I noticed this gummy bear staring at me across the room, giving me that evil eye. I think he knows my secrets!
The name of this rose variety is distant drums. I took this picture at the international rose test garden in Portland Oregon. It smelled great too!
Photograph of a fractal reflection exhibit at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. The only real objects are the central ball and the green, red, and blue light sources that you can see multiple images of.
A photo of an orchid taken at an orchid show at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens. I love the contrast of it against the purple wall. Maybe someone knows the specific name of this orchid? I would love to learn it. Thanks.
A close up of a Blue Morpho butterfly.
woolly bears survive in the competitive world by filling a unique niche. they overwinter as larvae (caterpillars) by manufacturing an anti-freeze in their blood, then they are ready in early spring to turn into the isabella tiger moth and live the whole summer as an adult.
Found this mean-looking thing on my dashboard. Glad he was no longer alive!
Here's a quick video of a cool looking caterpillar walking. I didn't have any macro lenses with me at the time...so this is at about 300 mm (35mm equivalent) from about 12 to 18 inches away.
Exposure 0.004 sec (1/250) | Aperture f/5.6 | Focal Length 50 mm | ISO Speed 200 The bumblebee was hard to catch. Whenever I tried to get him the bugger would fly away. Got one finally.
Found this strange creature beside the road. Didn't dare to touch it, so i took a picture instead. These are actually its real colors- no image enhancing filters or stuff. Taken with a Olympus point and shoot camera.
I was debating whether to use this picture or one of a moonset in the same place, but I thought this one was more interesting.
Taken outside my apartment in Austin, TX. I have been looking forward to rain for months, and at last......it came! :)
Ah, the beauty of our sky!
This is my entry for the Tuesdays Giveaway Photo self portrait! This is I, floating. Am I being abducted by aliens? Are there supernatural powers present? A fairy? Am I the girl next door with a secret? Use your imagination!
I took this photo in Iceland at Snæfellsjökull, a 700,000 year old stratovolcano with a glacier covering its summit. The famous spot provides the setting for Jules Vernes' fictional A Journey to the Center of the Earth, in which the characters find a passage leading to the center of the earth. Standing up there was truly surreal—the strong winds whipped the snow, clouds and land all together into one incredible landscape.
