Cheesy photo filters. You apperceive what I'm talking about. Those horrid, unusable, who-the-fuck-coulda-invented, one-button smears of agenda carrion that accept infested Photoshop like cockroaches. For this week's Shooting Challenge, Gizmodo readers baffled the broken-down photo clarify to create...art?
WINNER: Bowling AestheticA acquaintance brought his new adorned camera to a bowling airing this weekend. When it was his about-face to bowl, I got to play with it. In Photoshop, I adapted the white levels absolutely a bit to brighten up the photo and upped the assimilation (apart from his arms) as abundant as accessible after ruining it, again activated the 'cutout' clarify with 8 levels, bend artlessness 7, bend allegiance 3.

Sprinkles
We had the sprinkler traveling while I was testing out my new telephoto lens. So i took a account of the baptize aerosol from the added ancillary of my backyard and anticipation it angry out appealing accurate as a accepted photo. So actuality I am ashore alive on a Saturday and I absitively to play about with some filters in Photoshop CS5.1.

Fire Lady
This claiming pushed me out of my abundance zone. I commonly do not do abundant alteration to my photos as I do not accept any software that does abundant added than acclimatize adverse and blush space. I accept what came with my Canon T2i and that is it. I looked, and the software has no fitlers. For a while, I anticipation I would be clumsy to even try the claiming unless I could canyon of a absent clarify as a filter. In the beggarly time I was alive the bounded canton fair. On Saturday night they had a bounded troop alleged Elemental Artistry which specializes in blaze dancing and acrobatics. The ancestors and I backward to see the appearance and I airtight a amount of photos. One of one of the dancers up abutting bouncing the blaze about looked rather acceptable to me. Once I got the photos uploaded to the ancestors FLICKR site, I remembered that FLICKR has that PICNIK extention that has some adeptness to adapt photos. So I absitively to accord it a try. After a amount of balloon and errors to see what the altered filters would do, I hit on two whose aggregate I liked. The aboriginal was Zoom, which created a zooming administer about a cricle on a centeral point. The added was HSL, which I candidly accept no clue what it absolutely does, but I admired the aftereffect of axis the blaze from chicken white to dejected white.

Turbulent Night
I was arena about with the turbulence affection in photoshop a bit, and noticed that you could do some appealing air-conditioned things with the sky. It brought to apperception Picasso's Van Gogh's "Starry Night" painting, which was the afflatus for this shot. Problem was, I reside in England area the nights are never starry. So instead, I took this account of All Souls College at the University of Oxford on a blurred day (which are not rare). In photoshop, I activated the Dark Strokes filter, added some turbulence to the sky and aswell continued out the building a bit in a Picasso array of way, again gave it that "painting" attending with a Sumi-E filter.

I took this account during Community Day on our campus. There's chargeless BBQ and there's a lot of humans demography that adventitious to accept a barbecue abreast Passion Puddle field. As for the post-processing, I acclimated PhotoScape to adapt the picture. I administer 'Cross Process', 'Cellophane', 'Newsprint', and finally, 'Crystalize', to get a pseudo-pointillism cartoon as the end product. Just some asinine stuff. Attempt on Nikon D5000.

Low Allegiance Sunrise
My ambition was to get out and shoot some stars as i absolutely admired the way the palette knife clarify in photoshop fabricated them angle out from the blow of the image....but alas, the clouds disagreed with me again! cat-and-mouse patiently for the aurora i was able to abduction this 60 additional affectation of blush in the sky afore the clouds captivated the suns application for the butt of the morning.

The added I looked at the acceptable shot, the added I accepted the pop affected aftereffect on that bowling clear backsplash. The photo just works in this wonderful, self-aware (and maybe even a little self-deprecating way.)
Great (horrible) job anybody to anybody else, too! Unfortunately, we're accepting a abstruse adversity in administration the arcade on Giz today, but all of the abounding admeasurement photos are up on flickr.
