Screened

I was just playing around with the camera the other day and taking pictures of just about everything. I took one through the screen in the window and I was quite surprised how it turned out.
Have a look for yourself.
Instant texture added to the picture. It made me think what else I could use. I just may have to do some more experimenting.

I've taken pictures through a window screen before too, and the result is just as you say and show. It gives a very interesting image, with a filter that gives a beautiful effect.

That really turned out well. Whenever I try and take a picture of one of our visiting birds, you can barely see it. I guess it might help if I cleaned the window and the screen :)

Ann said...

Ratty, sure does, it's amazing what a camera can capture.

Ann said...

Tahtimbo I've got lots of pictures taken through the window that didn't come out to well due to fingerprints and dirt on the glass.

Since I take a lot of window pictures I have many with the screen affect - I always liked it...

BeadedTail said...

I like how that turned out! I'll have to try the screen effect too!

Erika said...

I like how the flower does not really seem impacted but then you see the texture around it. I will have to play tomorrow.

Wow...that is a beautiful and interesting photo. And I must commend you for how clean your screens are...I'm jealous!

Duni said...

Unusual and exciting shot!

Unknown said...

If you would take a picture through most of our screens, you would have a lot more "texture" to work with.

Ann said...

Grace, most of my through the window shots have smudges from my dirty windows...lol

beaded tail I'm thinking I have to start holding things in front of my camera to see what other effects I can get

Nico designs I don't remember for sure but I think I had the camera right up against the screen when I took this one

earthtoholly before you give me too much credit for clean screens you should take a look at what the glass in the window looks like

Duni thank you

fishhawk well I think I got lucky and just found a clean spot on the screen to take the picture from

Marg said...

That did turn out well. I couldn't take pictures through my window because it is so dirty I can barely see through it. That is on my ToDo list of things.
But I like the way the through the screen worked. Good job.
Have a great day.

Yes ~ a great photo ~ Love it!!

Lin said...

Great idea! But I'm thinking your screens have to be clean and free of cottonwood fuzzies!

Bossy Betty said...

This is a lovely shot!

I always look for Duke here--you have me addicted to his little face!

Donna said...

Wow, a gorgeous and interesting effect. That flower is just breathtaking.

The Urban Cowboy said...

Amazing...you are definitely a pro.

Ann said...

Marg washing windows is on my to do list also. My screens are much cleaner than the windows are...lol

Ollie McKays, thank you very much

Lin I don't know how clean it is but there isn't any cottonwood fuzzies in it

Bossy Betty thanks and sorry no Duke today, he asked for the day off :)

Donna very peaceful Sunday, cool and rainy today but still nice and relaxing

poetic shutterbug thanks I love the iris with the purple against the white petals

urban cowboy not really a pro but I do like playing but thanks for the compliment :)

Audrey said...

That's so cool! If I tried that all you would see would be screen :)

Split Rock Ranch said...

Very cool - interesting that the flower appears clear but the background is textured.

Anne said...

That is such a gorgeous flower. Did you use manual focus? If not, how did you keep the camera from focusing on the screen?

Ann said...

Audrey you know I've tried it again and I couldn't get it to work...lol

split rock ranch yes I just wish I knew how i got it to work the first time

Anne I used my old point and shoot for that picture and I had it on the auto setting. As for how I got it to focus on the flower, I'm not quite sure, pure luck I think.
