These short days are really cutting into my photo time. There just aren’t enough light hours in the day right now.
I took these photos with my iPhone at the gym. Most of the snow we had on Friday is gone, but there is still some in the shadow areas of the trees.
The photos are really not very interesting, so I decided to try some of the filters in Photoshop. On a couple of them I used the oil paint filter along with a poster edge filter.

I do like the effects. Especially the last one.
Thanks, Emilio.

Thanks, Rob.
Lovely! I like the effect of the filters.
Thank you, Zelmare.
Amazing, I loved them all dear Maralee, Thanks and Love, nia
Thank you, Nia.
Like the effects. Makes me what to try it as well.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thank you, Francine.
This is truly lovely.
Thank you so much.
Great shots … the first one is a bit scary .. it’s like the trees are dancing … swirling around. I like the no filter used .. my pick, beautiful with the thin layer of snow and the autumn colors comes through.
Thanks, Viveka. I don’t use filters very often, but sometimes when the photos are not very inspiring, it’s fun to experiment a bit.
wow!
Thank you, David.
You’re my inspiration, Maralee. I love reading your ideas about photography and turning a ho-hum into something fascinating. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you, Christine.
Very nice! I’ve been playing with filters a bit myself. It’s kind of fun to find out what they do and to tuck that information away for future reference. I really like the first one.
Thanks, Carissa. It’s fun to take a no-nothing photo and see if I can spice it up a bit. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but its fun to try.
