Solarized Tree – Rainy Day Inspiration and Flickr Feature


Solarized Tree, by rsmithing
One good thing about rainy afternoons is how the ordinary can take on more beauty. Here’s a snapshot of a tree I noticed in the post-rain haze of my neighborhood. It takes on new depth thanks to the Dynamic Light app’s “solarize” function and some finishing touches with the TtV Photo Studio app.

About 24 hours after this post, I visit the source image atFlickr to respond to any comments, and whaddya know: it’s featured on Flickr’s Explore: Recent Photos gallery!
Flickr’s “Explore” galleries arecurated collections of 500 select photos each day. Considering the site gets photos uploaded by the thousands every minute, that’s very flattering. Other categories include “The Commons,” and “Galleries” – and all are fun ways to discover interesting new art and artists.
What an honor – thanks, Flickr!
