Yesterday (click older posts at bottom of this page) I explained what Ido in Florida all day and how I taught a Photo Club  session on such things as Patterns and Texture in photography.

Three days ago, CBS Sunday Morning TV show just happened to do a segment on Abelardo Morell.  By utilizing a basic principle of optics once used by Renaissance artists like Canaletto and Vermeer, photographer Abelardo Morell builds a “camera obscura” with which to capture landscapes and architectural wonders.

From CBS Sunday Morning – As if looking thru the texture and pattern of floor boards.

From CBS Sunday Morning – As if looking thru the texture and pattern of a Paris curtain.

Well, I thought I would try my own version of “Camera Obscura” with PhotoShop

I started with this scene – droplets on a screen. Rain droplets from a storm – on our porch screen in The Great Outdoors Resort

And I created this one.

And digitally framed it.

That is how I spent this morning’s private time – With PhotoShop, making and framing a photo!

Will CBS invite me to demonstrate – I doubt it – But if you are interested in learning to do this kind of stuff – Ask Jim Hennigar to put it on his education schedule – I will show you how I do it!
