For Scavenger Hunt Sunday this week, people took photos related to the following five prompts. I used photos from my archives for this hunt.
1. Before and After
I can’t believe how long my boys hair got in 2007. For these before and after photos, I Photoshopped them so that each boy would be in a picture with himself, before and after his haircut. Do you like their hair better long or short?
2. Opposing Lines
A closeup of the Parthenon from our trip to Greece
3. Custom Bokeh
I didn’t do this in-camera as the prompt suggested, but I played around with Photoshop to try to create a bokeh effect.
4. Which Pair of Shoes Should I Wear?
Even though these boots were waterproof, my feet were still soaked once the trail became a stream, and I didn’t have rain gear to cover the tops of the boots.
5. Little Features
My newborn son with his daddy

Thanks! I kind of like their look with long hair better in the photos, but I remember it driving me crazy at the time.
I love, love, love that hand shot.
Ok, I am something of an art noob, what is bokeh and how do you do it?

I’m a noob at it myself, but here was a cool tutorial about it:

I didn’t link to it in my post since I really didn’t try using this technique, but I thought it was pretty cool.
Thanks.
Great pictures! I like their hair longer. Too cute

The before and after shot was cute; great idea for a photo to share. The opposing lines demonstrates such beauty and I never tire of seeing such pics.
Great photos for the hunt.. I love your shoes.. Those look like what I wear most of the time.. My hiking boots or my converse…
You are really good at Photoshop! Great pictures, all excellent responses to the prompts! It’s great fun visiting you blog!

bokeh effect looks good.
I was going through DPS, found your before & after one of the best ones.
Thanks! There were a lot of cool ideas there.
