Neon ~ Micah

Micah's "Neon"

"Egyptian Hieroglyphics Before"

"Egyptian Hieroglyphics After"

My neon picture is a Egyptian Hieroglyphics picture. I use neon motion app on my iPod touch. I traced it with different neon colors. I brightened the background to trace the Egyptian Hieroglyphics. Then I saved the picture but it doesn't save the background with it.

 More NEON!!!

Lynn's "Neon Light"

"Liberty Enlightening the World"

Micah chose this week's challenge and after going through list after list on our old challenge site he picked "neon".  I thought it was going to be a tough challenge as neon lights are just not all that plentiful here in Maine.  Well, as luck would have it, Lady Liberty just happened to be having dinner at the same restaurant I was at the other night.  She took a break from Enlightening the World and grabbed a burger at Red Robin in Augusta before heading back to NYC. And yes, she did have "french" fries with that because she was born in Paris in 1881, after all!

The challenge was "miniatures", so I wanted to shoot a special "BELL" for my friend Lynn, one she would cherish...

So here are my "miniatures" with the special "BELL"

 

So here is the Bull Moose sporting his "BELL"



Went out to "shoot the moon" last night and have some fish at Kingfish on the river and here are few sights I saw...:0D

Lynn's Miniature

                                "West Quoddy Nesters"

Our challenge was to create a scene using small miniature objects.  My foreground, the Atlantic Ocean, is a blue bath towel with a few waves photoshopped in from an actual picture of waves at West Quoddy Head.  Then I added some "smudge tool" creativity to blend out the cloth detail.  The rock is just a rock in my back yard and took the birds from my shelf and placed them in the front of the scene for perspective.  The day was cold and rainy when I shot the miniature so it needed a nice fall sky.  I had shot this sky at the high school about a week ago.  I just pulled those clouds into the background behind the little miniature West Quoddy Head Lighthouse using photoshop.  This challenge was way too much fun!
