Noosa Area 2016

At Cafe Vin Cino, Noosa Marina, Dad, Ian and I, coffee for the soul. The cake was unbelievably tasty. SOOC photos combined in a diptych for TSC Indulgence. Textured version in the note.

These have just started flowering in our front garden. These fascinating tropical American natives come in a wonderful variety of sizes, shapes and foliage colours. They seem very strange and exotic, but one of our most common fruits, the pineapple, is actually a bromeliad. Many bromeliads are epiphytes (ie they live on other plants but do not parasitise those plants), living up in the forks of tree branches and surviving mainly on the moisture and nutrients they obtain from the air.

SOOC using in camera Sports/Action setting. Normally I would use Manual. TSC "Something which grows, and be creative and try not to use plants and flowers"... (Child, Wave) Use one of the applications built into your camera to make a shot straight out of camera (SOOC)… Use your art filters or scene settings to create a work of art using a tool that you may have dismissed until now. No normal manual settings unless the app allows for it.
