Week # 7, Picture Pop

My choice of photo-editing software was BeFunky.  I uploaded a photo that I had taken of the Devils Marbles at sunset eons ago.  (Well, maybe not that bad - but quite a while ago)

Then using Befunky I tried out some of the effects.  There were a couple of effects where I found myself saying... "Ohh, so thats how they do it".

I can't see myself using these in a work capacity - but then, never say never.  Who knows?  I find myself using the oddest things at the school.....skills that were just for fun have sometimes become a teaching moment.  (Not that I am a teacher - but you never know when you will be asked to give a hand)  Teaching a Yr 7 class to make ice-cream in a ziplock bag comes to mind.  Really handy when you are on a Guide Camp and it's 30plus degrees - but a Home Ecomonics class.... who knew??  Could be Science as well.

Anyway....below is the original photo and then some of the effects I tried out.  Cool or what?  I had fun with this.
