Whispering Grass,the Trees Don't Need to Know.
After yesterdays deliberate motion blur photo, done in camera, today's as promised has been done in Photoshop. If you don't have Photoshop it should be possible in other software packages too.
Method: Start out with a straight shot, sharpened, levels adjusted etc. as per normal and then run the following. Go to filters; blur and motion blur. Set the angle to 90 degrees for a portrait style or 180 for a landscape style such as yesterdays. Set the distance slider to an appropriate lavel for the effect you are after, in this case it was 300 and hit ok. There you have it!
The title of today's blip comes from an old Ink Spots hit of many years ago, also covered by Ringo Starr among others:
Why do you whisper, green grass
Why tell the tress what ain't so
Whispering grass
The trees don't have to know, no-no
Why tell them all your secrets
Who kissed there long ago
Whispering grass
The trees don't need to know
Don't you tell it to the breeze
For she will tell the birds and bees
And everyone will know
Because you told the blabbering trees
Yes, you told them once before
It's no secret anymore-ore
Why tell them all the old things
They're buried under the snow
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees
'Cause the trees don't need to know-ow
Spoken:
Now, don't you tell it to the breeze
'Cause she'll run 'n' tell it to the birds and bees
And everyone will know
Because you done told the blabberin' trees
Yes you did, ya told 'em once before
So that's why it ain't no secret anymore, mm-mm-mm
Why tell them all the old things
They're buried under the snow
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees
'Cause the trees - don't need - to... know-ow.
