Top Hat Media: Photo Challenge Day 16: Unnatural

At variance with what is normal or to be expected; contrary to the laws or course of nature;

Many of us encounter unnatural people, places or things everyday. Remember, if you have a photo editing software, the sky is the limits to what you can do with your photos to make them look "unnatural". Have your camera at the ready and capture the most unnatural moment of your day today and send it in to tophatutah@gmail.com.

Daily Photo Tip: Lens Accessories - Most point and shoot cameras will not have additional accessories for the lens because most of the "filters" and "effects" are built into the digital software of the camera. If you own a point and shoot camera, make sure you are utilizing the many features available to you in different types of lighting etc. If you own a DSLR camera, you will have several options to add to your arsenal of supplies to add on your lens(es). Do some research on the lens' manufactures website (www.canonusa.com or www.nikonusa.com etc.) and see what type of options are available to you. Lens hoods and filters are a must to any DSLR set up to not only protect the lens/investment but also to enhance your shooting experience. Some general filters to keep handy are a UV Filter lens and a Polarized Filter. There are many type and qualities of filters available depending on how serious you are about photography. I took the photo below using a circular polarized filter and a lens hood. The only thing I manipulated with my software was the slight vignette around the corners. With water polarized filters work great to help knock out the glare and bring out the colors. Try it out!
