    Default Last fish tank blur

    This is a 60% crop of a capture in my fish tank. I was attempting blurs of a plastic aquarium plant when one of my catfish swam beneath the area. It "passed gas" in the form of several bubbles and these two "things" are what the camera captured. I quess that the aquarium lights flicker at many times per second, much faster than the human eye can see, like a repeating strobe. So, at 1/2 second shutter speed, the camera captured the bubbles as they fluttered back and forth toward the surface. I smoothed the bg blur a little, applied "glowing edges" and used select-color range on the bubbles to mask the effect of the glowing edges filter from the bg, then added "wind" 3 times to the bubble trails. I guess the title could be "FISH FARTS"

    You are way too funny, Dan I've never known of anyone who could create art from flatulence.

    I love the electric blue and the way it contrasts with the deep green shades. The squiggly lines are wonderful.

    Well, I learn something every day here at BPN. You could have offered a one million dollar prize for identifying this without any danger of losing the money. Creative and unusual and way out of the box for sure, I like the colors and flow to the gas, I mean image...

    Oh my goodness...what a hoot!! Beautiful bkgd of flowing motion and colors. Those blue corkscrew lines add lots of contrast and interest, all the more so knowing they are fish farts !
