In and Out of Focus

Hmmm, if I focus on TW’s hand long enough, maybe I can taste it. Sorry I didn’t see you here. I was too focused. Actually this photo earned TW a bitten calf for shining the flashy box in my face. If I ever go blind, it’s all on her. Still, it’s a stunning photo and it’s in focus.

Once again I’m combining the Saturday PhotoHunt and the Caturday Art Blog Hop into one post. It’s double your fun time. This week’s photo hunt theme is focus, a word that’s seldom used to describe TW’s photos. Click on the links to see more photos and art.

I know you’re gonna find this hard to believe but we couldn’t find that many of TW photos that were out of focus! Since she started using the automatic setting, her pics aren’t that out of focus. They’re more grainy and dark. She sez that’s cos I won’t let her use flash. That’s right, TW, blame the victim.  Her closeups, like the photo that leads off this post, look much better using the mackerel setting on the Olympus.

Enough chatter, CK. Get to the art already! OK, here we go. Here’s an early before and after shot. A simple filter—don’t ax me which one—made this photo usable.

This one is more grainy than out of focus. We corrected it with an emboss filter. It certainly sharpened it. I’m gonna put the untouched version on Facebook, if TW conveniently hasn’t forgotten which photo it is.

Thanks for all the compliments on the CK candle last week. TW never, ever burns decorative candles. We have some holiday candles from a couple of centuries ago that she's never lit. The flame was just for effect—not that we actually have a CK candle.
