Hi, Sweet Friends!
I have been using my Canon Power Shot for the past 5 years and LOVE it! It was a gift to me from my Dad, when he got his new Canon. However, since then he has commented at how much better he likes mine than his new one. And I did offer to give it back, but he said he knows how much joy I am getting out of it. He is one of my blog readers! YAY!

Anyway, I have been trying out new and different photo techniques that have really surprised me! Here are some of the things I have tried and photos to go along with each technique.
Enjoy!

The first technic I have tried is the plastic bag around the lens.
 |
| YIKES! It made Fancy look Grumpier than normal! |
 |
| Love the look! It frames the Christmas Tree |
 |
| The focus is bright with the flash. |
 |
| No flash and it is still pretty. |
 |
| Subject without flash. |
 |
| Subject lit with flash. |
 |
| But I'm really not impressed by the look of this. |
Next, I tried to shoot thru the rumpled bag, but there was too much bag and I really didn't like the look.
 |
| I may use these for back drops. |
Switching out the plastic bag for the piece of plastic wrap, gave a great look. I really like this. I used the rubberband to adjust the amount of blur in the photo.
 |
| I really love this look! |
 |
| The tree still shows, but the lights just pop! |
 |
| I would love to do this technique with the colored lights. |
 |
| Softening the look is so cool! |

The next technique I tried was to take oil and put it in a circle around the outer edge of the camera lens. I only put it slightly towards the center.
 |
| Sorry about the blurriness of the tablet! But you can see where I put the oil. |
 |
| Criss-cross Pattern on the cellophane/plastic wrap. |
The next thing I tried was to make criss-cross patterns over the cellophane lens in little patterns.
 |
| The lights appear to dance |
 |
| I really like the look of this technique! |
 |
| Mostly a blurred out photo. |
 |
| Lights On. |
Lastly, I tried to get a blurred light effect with the lights by using a night setting and moving the camera a bit when taking the photo.
 |
| This effect made everthing have an odd shadow. |
 |
| Lights off. |
 |
| Lights on. |
I did like this last look very much! I think it gives it a warm glow. This is the Night Setting on the Canon.
I really like trying new things!!
Won't you try something new today?
