Yesterday I discovered a new technique through another happy accident. I left my lights on after the shoot yesterday, and noticed how they reflected in the glass of the sliding door as if they were outside. I used that to create bokeh in the trees this morning.

#SoCS: Rev Up My Stream of Consciousness
For today’s images, I tried three ideas. First, I created a holly filter with my new filter design that goes over the lens guard.

Then I put some plastic santas and snowmen on my white lights and made some HollyContinue reading “#SoCS: Rev Up My Stream of Consciousness”

#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 28: Reclaiming My Time
