I got a chance to ride around the city the other night to see the Christmas light displays and "try" to get some decent pictures. Well, I got to see some great displays, but most of my pictures were sub-standard for my taste so I decided to create some digital art with them. I used PSE10 to manipulate blurry images into images that I think came out ok.

Mostly I used the filters in PSE, such as poster edges and  invert on some and used neon glow on others. I'm thinking that I could possibly use some of these to create cards next year. Since I don't have many "regular" light pics, I'll  show you these.

I'll start off with one that I used glowing edges on.

Then I inverted the same image.

Lastly, I used the threshold filter on the same image.

This one was posterized.

This one is "as is", just a bit blurry.

Then I inverted it, I think it would make a cool card with some added text.

I call this one "Hark". I used neon edges to create it.

Honestly, I can't remember what I did for this one... *grins* But I think it could turn into a cool card.

This in the only one that came out pretty nice without manipulation.

I captured this one on the way home, it's our Historic City Hall building.

For my last image, I have to show you what happens when the photographer is in motion and the building is not!
