K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge: Straight Lines

I have been missing this prompt for a couple of weeks. So, decided to do it today even though it is usually done by me on a Monday.
I love Cambodia and all those beautiful sculptures that you get to see there. I was amazed at how intricate and detailed their art of work were. I chose this photograph because in-spite of the elements in it, the whole thing was done in a straight line. But I thought it will be much better to have a mirror view of it to let you see how perfectly symmetrical they are. Used PhotoMania’s photo effects to get this end result.

Monday Blues

I am not a big fan of Monday, ever. I can’t show you how moody I become on a Monday. Anyways, since we have a holiday tomorrow (for Vijayadasami festival) I am feeling bright eyed today 😉 inspite of being a Monday. So for this weeks Cosmic Photo Challenge, I decided to use the photograph of my brand new ‘very bright’ blue shoes that I bought for the Chinnar trekking. I am not the one to go for such bright colors in anything. But I picked this one for a change. They are really very very blue. I photomania-d it and made it look like I am inside the water. I like that it (shoes) matched with my very blue jeans and the whole vibe of the photograph also turned out to be bluish.

Through the trees

I have this habit of trying to photograph the Sunlight through the trees or in other words called as Komorebi. ( Komorebi is a Japanese word that roughly translates to “sunlight shining through the leaves of trees.”) During our trek in Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary, Munnar, Kerala, India, where the sun was at its high at 9 am, I tried that and it didn’t come out as well as it did in another komorebi shot. I couldn’t see the outcome of the photograph well with the sun on my face and I didn’t want to slow down and try again because my friend was almost half cooked by then. But when I used that not-quite-good photograph and applied some effects from Photo Mania, this is what I got.

And I kind of liked the outcome and the way the effect went well with the photograph.

And oh! here is the original

What do you think?

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge: Circle

I had the photograph of a spinning wheel that I had taken in a Children’s Emporium in Bangalore. I used it in PhotoMania to get this funny photograph 😉
Have you seen the videos where cats look at these kind of rotating wheels and their reactions? I guess we humans too will have funny reactions to these spinning wheels if we keep looking at it for long.

The second one is the photograph of the circular rings of a tree I took in the Botanical Gardens of Mendocino.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge: Futurism

This week’s theme of Futurism threw me in for a loop. Wasn’t sure how to actually picture it. So got around to playing with some of my photographs and again ended up doing a double exposure using Pixlr and got this photograph.

This is a double exposure of a photograph of ‘The Hive’ taken at the Kew Gardens and another photograph of a shelter I took in Brighton’s Royal Pavilion. I was glad that those two photographs went well with each other. Looked like one of those machines you see in those alien movies ? or something close to that at least?

I wasn’t that convinced with the photograph to use it as is for the challenge. So used PhotoMania to create a couple more effects. These, I loved. Whether they represent futurism or not, I leave that upto you 🙂
