A Photo a Week Challenge: Sharpness

I experimented this with  few photos, here you can see the outcome. Moderately used this is a great tool to use,  First photo is the original.

in the last photo as it was sharpened too much it came granular.

In these the difference is significant and worth the trouble  – the detail are much more clear. Also I did add a little contrast too 🙂

Sunday Stills, the next challenge: Wildflowers

I think we can pretty much find some wildflowers by now, for a real challenge don’t use archive pics…get out and take some new pics,, so after this prompt, I did go to the forest.

I will post photos I saw today, I started walking along  the path in the first photo, looking for flowers. It was partly cloudy today- helps with yellow flowers, but so cold.  Unfortunately I cannot name most of these.I continues further into the forest, but I will post those later.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Spring II

Spring surprises us, yesterday and today we have had showers of hail, and rain and sleet. Sun has also come out between all these variations of weather.
I took these photos 15 min ago, and now the sun is shining. The wonders of spring weather.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Spring

I have been doing nothing else than documenting spring past week, so I will continue to do so here also 🙂  Kids playing outside, not having to dress them in three layers, cats running free, nature blooming. All fresh and new!
