“A shadow of a reflection of an image of an illusion.” Chuck Palahniuk, Haunted
What do your eyes see in this photo? What is real . . . what is imagined? I am fascinated that my husband saw something completely different in this shot – as he did not know what I had taken a picture of. I really enjoy taking abstract photos but find myself getting caught up in trying to capture what is real. I am challenging myself to look beyond the literal translation of what I am seeing, and capture something that makes the viewer stop and think about what they are seeing.

I came across this fellow today. Kind of a cutie pie eh? This photo is a picture of me and my new best friend. Oh . . . not the Moose silly! The camera! LOL! One of my fellow 365’ers thought that I look kind of drunk . . . I processed this in Photoshop with Topaz Labs Lens Effects filter to blur the background. I guess it gives a bit of a surreal look . . .

I grabbed this shot when hubby and I were out and about today. We each had a camera and were just shooting whatever was interesting down by the waterfront. When I brought the photos up in Lightroom, I wondered what it would look like if I masked our shadows with a photo of what we were each shooting. I was fascinated by the sun setting over the fishing boats, while hubby was more interested in the actual pier and water reflections. I love being out and about together like this.

I shot this in the bathroom mirror, then processed in Lightroom 4 with Trey Ratcliff’s “HDR in Lightroom: A Surprising Touch”. I then brought it in to Photoshop CS6 where I masked the lens in from the original photo. This is hand-held with the D800E and the 105mm VRII.
