Playing with Bokeh Blur in the NOOK

 




This was almost a Wordless Wednesday post, except I wanted you to know, Bob and I both have skin cancer removals today, both at 4 pm, same room, same doctor, same time.
Will see you Thursday, pray I don't spend the night holding pressure on Bob's incision, he is on blood thinners, and I do a lot of that, almost every day
Interesting Tidbit? I have 300 Band-Aids, all the same size and another 100 of different sizes and shapes..


The last two are my favorites. Above the cat is blurred but is sharp in the mirror
below, the sharp is the chimney and the middle to bulbs are sharp and bokeh blur is on the other chimney glass.

Let Me Entertain ME!

 


I am so easily entertained. While reading this POST on An English Girl Rambles, I admired her photos that had images of sharp curtains with bokeh blurred cat face looking in the window. I said in comments, I used to do that when I had a camera, but its hard to do with a cell phone.
Did you guess what I did next? Of course I played with cell phone and the laptop in my lap until I could do it.
Everybody grab your cell and see if you can do bokeh blur backgrounds. I played for half an hour, coming soon to a blog near you. YOU KNOW IT


Above focus is on laptop, below focus on TV 
I miss my DSLR but am slowly finding most things can be doe with the cell




Well I did say Let me entertain ME... I walked over to the NOOK and well... you know the rest of the story..
 

The focus is ON MADSNAPPER, but then, isn't it always?

UH, it's FUN..

 


Sue from Photowannabee, sent me this link to a short video on how to draw a person using the letter
U
H
I ran for the ipad and drew a U H and with in 5 minutes flat 
I sent her this woman. Her face is the U her body the H.


next I tried this one

and gave up and ended up with the Not OK Corral, with a farmer and a ghost that is stalking him is drawn using the U and H...

Go ahead and roll your eyes, Bob did when I showed him this one. he also said
REALLY? 
Ann I challenge you and anyone else that is willing to try to draw a person starting with
U
H
The reason I draw all these silly things and write all the crazy stuff has been found on Facebook and sent to me by blog friend Sparky, also known as Pam on her Blog My Thoughts Exactly. We have only been blog friends for a few months and we found she is a distant cousin on the McCall side of our family. Thank you Sparky,  I knew these things help me through each day and now I KNOW it. 

You have the power to take the deepest pain within you 
and give it a home outside of your body.
Let it live in art. Let it live in writing. 
Let it live in music. Let it be transformed through building brighter connections. 
Your body is not a coffin for pain to be buried in. 
Find another place for pain to reside. Ehime Ora

PS: you can tell how much PAIN I pour into my drawing by comparing it to the PAIN, it causes you to look at it and not comment that it looks like a 3-year-old drew it!
