3rd Annual Great Variations Advent Calendar

Me too. It’s been interesting. I normally wouldn’t have interest in photos that are not more “traditional” but it’s been kind of fun modifying the shit outta them.

I think there's a distinct difference between using a filter to try and mislead people by removing wrinkles or erasing blemishes, and by playing with filters and effects to totally change a pic and create a different work of art.

If you're enjoying exploring modifying the shit out of pictures, stop by 2.0 sometime and come and play...

I think that was long enough for me face

I disagree! It was a fantastic picture!

I guess it’s like using an effect peddle for a guitar.

I have no idea what this is yet I love it. I’m on the fence between a cathedral and the front of a Rolls or Chrysler
And then it’s like a goldfish or some crap

I think it's the roof of the great hall at the Houses of Parliament

I thought I saw a cup of coffee in the center, but it might have been wishful thinking on my part.

Just to say that real life has somewhat got in the way today.

I'll award the golden shaker later, but the new theme is

Light

As ever, play nice, have fun and be creative...

Big shout outs this week to @barefootgirl69 for a rare (but really worthwhile) visit, to @lindi_85 for a few very different but interesting posts, and to @Wonderer67 for nailing the cat in front of the TV (not literally) after only just starting to play with filters.

Huge shout out to @MissRadiant for the two pics of her holding flowers. They were/are stunning!

But the winner this week (and it pains me to agree with @Cjbdd but this was worthy of being put up on a wall) was @lingus60 for this...



I'm jealous...



If you enjoyed playing with filters, you can absolutely continue unless the theme is 'not filtered') or join us over on 2.0
