Ceiling fan.
People on holiday don’t usually lie on the floor of kitchen in their accommodation taking intentional-blur pictures of the ceiling fan. But apparently I do :)
OK. The trouble with pictures of ceiling fans is they are pretty boring. You just get the motor and the blur of the rotors in monotonous monochrome. Curiously I expected the motor would rotate too but … er… they don’t. The motor is at least round and pleasingly symmetric but that's about your lot.
Sliders Sunday playtime beckoned. Always a good place to recycle images unlikely to inspire a wow from anyone. And recycling as we well know by no is a Good Thing.
So into the playpen I went with this (the original in-camera capture is linked in the first comment).
The basic work was done it Topaz Studio (that toy box of delights) and AI Remix. This is an adjustment that claims to convert your image into a style reminiscent of famous paintings. Well maybe. But, playing with it, one thing I noticed is that it is good at exploding a bland image into a pizazz of pulchritudinous polychrome (which, translated into English means a mess of pretty colours ;) ).
So this is remix with extra titivating in Radiance, Glow and Abstraction. Then taken into Corel Painter (another fun toy box, but primarily for digital painters) to add first the paint relief in the original and then a paper texture (which you can best see zoomed in). Finally back into Studio for a play with the snazzy new Digital Frame adjustment.
Thank you for taking a moment to look. I hope you enjoy the image (in spite of it being mainly created rather than captured :) ) Happy Sliders Sunday!!!

Necessity is the Mother of Invention, or in this case, Desperation is the Mother of Grab Shot. I was desperate for a photo today, so when I saw this ceiling fan in the outdoor patio I thought I'd give it a go and see what I could get. I kind of like it.
Pueblo, CO - This adobe house was one of the most challenging homes I’ve taken pictures of. Multi-colored walls with reflective paint along with inconsistent lighting, log-riddled ceilings, and shiny tile flooring throughout the house made this a frustrating circus sandwich.
I used the Godox AD200 Pro flash on a remote trigger and pointed at almost everything bright to fight off the glaring sunlight coming in through the windows and off the floors. This is five flash exposures and two abient shots along with color corrections and miscellaneous adjustments.
This is one of those times when you learn some new technics out of necessity.

After a about a month and a half of waiting, her bed that was on back order finally arrived. She was so excited! :)
I decided to try and create a photograph of one of my ceiling fans in my house in Pinellas County Florida. I turned on the fan to add some drama to the photograph, which is presented here. I took several photographs to use in combination with other effects to create future Altered Reality events.
End of the first day of demolition of the First Reformed Church, Kalamazoo, Michigan. Only one and a half walls and part of the roof have been torn down; a ceilfing fan still clings to the remains of the ceiling. The First Baptist Church can be seen through the empty windows. The stained glass was removed weeks before the demolition began.
For its final issue (sob), Domino rolled up its sleeves to help out a community still feeling the effects of Hurricane Katrina. The result is a home that's sustainable in every sense of the word—made of healthy materials, affordable to maintain and cozy to live in.

As our catamaran made its way slowly up the Rio Dulce, Guatemala towards Lake Izabal, the destination was for lunch at the Catamaran Island Hotel.
The hotel is set on a small island on the Río Dulce. The hotel’s grounds are lovely and are landscaped with a variety of tropical plants.
The hotel has 36 air-conditioned bungalows, most set over the water with views of the Río Dulce. There is a marina with 25 boat slips.
The hotel’s Catamaran Bar seen here is built over the water. iApparently the bar swell known locally for its margaritas and piña coladas.
The owner (a US citizen) built the hotel 50 years ago. Hs wife died recently and he wants to return to the USA. He is uncertain as to the future of the property. His son wants nothing to do with it. It's up for sale.
The property needs some TLC, our buffet lunch was so so.
