I don’t know art, but I know what i like

And thus concludes Fun with Photography Week. Hope you enjoyed it.

Lots of Guest DD photos! The deadline was yesterday but today is okay, too.

Filter -> Brush Strokes

I moved from “regular” Photoshop to Photoshop Elements about two years ago and never looked back. It has more than I need, including these two attractive filters.

Used with an equally attractive dog.

Let there be light

I would use my iPhone as a camera more often except for the fact that I have a mild hand tremor and it’s very difficult to keep it still. Not so with my hefty SLR.
The light in this photo comes from the picfx app.

P.S. Correction from yesterday: Sherman is on 30 days of Doxycycline, not Amoxicillin. Thank-you, Dr. Kramer.

Darn ticks

I took Sherman to the vet yesterday for his annual checkup. They have some fancy shmancy blood test that checks for Lyme and a bunch of other tick borne illnesses and gives the results in 10 minutes. Sherm has Lyme Disease! He’s asymptomatic so it came as a complete surprise. Treatment is thirty days of Amoxicillin. Because Lyme can impair kidney function, we have to collect some urine to bring in. Any hints on how to do that are welcome. I made an appointment for Stanley to get tested next Monday. Thirteen years here and no Lyme up until now. I guess that makes us lucky?

Hipstamatic

Announcing Fun with Photography Week. I took today’s picture with my iPhone using the Hipstamatic app. Fun! I didn’t touch the settings, just pointed and clicked.

Don’t forget to send me your photos for the guest DD next week. Deadline is Thursday. If I get enough I will put up two per day.
