Boredom

Boredom is the creation of an idle mind. It can't exist if we don't let it. So, if you're bored, think of something new to do, read a book or call a friend. If you do this, the boredom will simply disappear. Our minds have tremendous power and creativity. All we have to do is to use it.

Now for the photography tip. This baby snow leopard looked very bored and wasn't too interested in being photographed. The original picture was a little blah, & the bars on the cage clouded the image a little, so I decided to see what I could do with it using filters. I tried various options in Topaz Simplify and decided on this one. Sometimes, using a simple filter can add a new dimension to a photograph. Try it sometime and see what you can create.

Be sure to leave your photography tips, and other words of wisdom here, so others can benefit from them.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

This is awesome Carolyn! I love the B/W.

If you are using Lightroom, you could also make several Virtual Copies and try using various white balances, or presets to see how many versions of this photo you can come up with.

Then, you can offer them to your customers in the color scheme of their choice. Just food for thought. That is what I plan on offering soon, amongst other things.
