Just to clear up some confusion. The title of this project is "Through the Windshield" but I am not actually shooting through the windshield, generally (though I have been know to). My van's windshield is just not conducive to that (either in size, shape, or cleanliness!). However, most of my subjects are spotted through the windshield, and I will not leave the van to take the picture. I do usually roll the window down.
:)
In this one, I played with saturation and used clarify several times in PSP, then added a vignette.
he was just lying there when i pulled up. no telling where he was from, or where he would end up.
Now that is a strange find - I bet it's from that Seymour and Friends side challenge from waaaaaay back. I like the editing to really isolate Seymour (really a stretch but you never know!)
Oh! How sad - an abandoned ducky! And you just left him there?? Poor thing... I really do like the shot as it does indeed evoke a sadness for the poor ducky.
PAW - Poor little cold, wet ducky maybe injured by a passing automobile. Maybe this is one of those that was in a huge container of ducky's that fell of a ship and ended up being found around the world and used by oceanographers to determine ocean currents. I like the desaturation of the grass. I think selecting and boosting the yellow saturation of the ducky would have enhanced this one.
This one is begging for a story.
Little Robbie didn't mind when mom gave him baths, since he played with Quackey while mom washed him. In fact, he liked Quackey so much he took him to bed and cuddled up to him, keeping him warm all night and sharing Robbies dreams. Robbie and Quackey were inseparable. One day when mom went in to Canton shopping Robbie brought him along to see the world. Robbie carried Quackey through Lowes, Costco and the grocery store. Robbie was proud to tell Quackey about all the interesting things they saw. When they left the last store Robbie put Quackey on the bumper and helped mom put the groceries in the trunk. Then they took off for home with Robbie eating Cheetos and talking to mom. They were almost home when Robbie noticed Quackey wasn't there. Then he remembered he had left Quackey on the bumper. Mom stopped and they looked but found Quackey was no longer there. Robbie talked mom into going back to the store and looking for Quackey, but he was nowhere to be found. Robbie was heartbroken and cried all the way home. Mom said she would get another rubber ducky, but Robbie wouldn't replace Quackey. After that Robbie never let mom go to the store without taking him, and he kept his eyes glued to the roadside all the way longing to find Quackey.
Probably a casualty from the last rubber duck challenge? Except this one would be riding high in glory because it would have won a ribbon :) Isn't it amazing how artful a vignette makes a photo. It makes the light on your duck stunning. Poor little fellow. He needs a kid to come pick him up and make him a bath toy :)
Very nice you are either driving very slow (and making everyone behind you very mad) or have the eyes of a hawk. I also hope you took the duck in and took care of it.
Whoa - stop right there missy!! You cannot say through the windshield and then not shoot through it. We wanna see your grungy windshield and the distortion that comes from it. Maybe then and only then will some of my own images look as good or better. lol.
So, you were driving along a spotted a ducky in the grass? I hope you took him in and gave him something to eat. He looks a bit weak here.
