Nice shot Paul, looks inviting...but I know how hot it is out there!

Something??? has a n home in the Woods of Otis. I have no idea what it is?

I should have used the zoom...but I was fearless and got right up close!

X20 Color sucks the big lemon...should get my computer back today, this old monitor and computer are not for photos!


Regards!

Good to meet your computer guy, but what's for lunch over there?

Here's some snaps from the past. We stopped at Turner Falls Park on the way back to DFW from OKC. It's in the Arbuckle Mountains in so. central Oklahoma. A great place to visit!
Taken with a Lumix TZ1 back in May 2007.

Honey Creek running through the park:


A shot of Turner Falls from a lookout point - the falls are 75 ft in height.


Up close to the falls:


My niece Hanna at the lookout point. She's starting High School in a few weeks - where does the time go??

Hmm, the fake bokeh is definitely noticeable. After the effect has been applied, can it be undone?

We had some genuine, real, authentic, Mexican meals......superb! I remember Turner Falls when it was not even a tourist attraction.....early 60s......we used to drive up there and go swimming and such and hardly anyone was ever around. Still looks great, and those are really nice shots of it!

I hope it still looks great - those shots are 7 yrs old! We haven't been back since then and it's probably much more crowded now. Still a wonderful place that's easy to miss if you don't know where it is!

It's "google" camera.

you take the shot and then tilt the phone up. It can be "refocused"

THe fake bokeh might end up good
If you have an Android device you can try "google camera"

Hmm, the "fake bokeh" in sunflower photo looks not bad. Too bad I don't have a compatible Android device.

For some fun, download FREE PhotoScape. It has some filter settings that are fun to play with and render some OOF with decent results. It has lots of fun...and useful....settings. One of the best simple processors out there.
