Extremely busy day today. Swim lessons for two of the girls and a state required (for us homeschoolers) standardized testing day for the oldest. We’ll be gone half the day, and it’s expected to storm most of the day until tonight, so no shooting along our travels.
Earlier in the spring, I was out shooting, and my younger son picked these two daffodils from along the side of a dentist’s office. Not wanting to waste them, I thought I’d take some pictures. The lighting was harsh, and trying to shoot them out of focus didn’t look like it’d work. I had bought a piece of lacy fabric to use as a diffuser for harsh lighting. I had it inside a needlework hoop, but hadn’t trimmed the extra fabric off yet. As I was holding the hoop up to diffuse the light, the extra length of fabric fell in front of the lens as I was focusing. I like what I saw, and this is one of the shots I took with my new ‘cheap filter.’ Kind of gives a painted effect to the shot. Anyway, love it when you stumble across something like this that makes what you already enjoy doing that much more fun!

That's an interesting idea. I like it! Very dreamlike.
The experience of capturing light is often the fruit of photography. Enjoyed reading your experience. It turned out nice.
Cool
Very unique....nice...:)
It's got a very interesting feel to it. I like it.
Wow!!!! this is a great shot. I though that it was taken with smoke in front of the flowers. Very nice!!!
Lovely capture! Well done!

Pretty cool how you achieved this effect. It looks like you did it a digital editor. Nice shot and creativity.
Very neat effect. :)
I thought it was a reflection in water. Very dreamy.
Very nice! You really have a creative streak in you.

Very different shot, nice one Micki.
Very nice I agree "dreamy".
What a great idea! The effect turned out lovely.
And there was me thinking you'd captured a couple of naughty daffs having a quick cigarette behind the fence.

Oh, that was very educating. A make-shift filter, what a cool idea. And such a wonderful effect. I think this is my new favourite of yours. You think I should try it myself?
Lovely!
A happy accident and a beautiful effect as the result!
