Friendly Friday: Fake

Welcome to the Friendly Friday photo challenge, hosted right here by me!

My little summer break is over – my helpful blogging buddy Manja did an excellent job co-hosting the challenge, and hopefully she’ll do it again sometime. Thank you, dear friend!

Today, I was thinking about the word Fake.

There are so many ways to interpret it. The connotation is negative, but does it have to be? Fake nails can look pretty, and what’s the harm?

I decided to try a starlight filter on a fairly boring photo I had of a building – the effect looks fake, unreal, but I kind of like it.

It makes me think of story time just before going to bed. The stars look like they are about to pour in through the windows – maybe the stories are pulling them in!

I’m not a photography purist but I know many people are quite opinionated about heavy photo editing. Well, here is your chance to do it with permission – let’s be fake this Friday!

If you’re not into the idea of photo editing, there are other ways to interpret the theme. You could, for instance, post photos of plastic flowers, the contents of your makeup bag, or even a tofu burger. The options are unlimited!

Feel free to bend the rules and interpret this challenge any way you like! I’m looking forward to seeing it.

How to participate:

• Create a post responding to the theme, Fake
• Link that post to this one with a pingback
• Add a comment at the end of this post, introducing your take on the theme
• Check out some of the other entries!

Optional:

Next Friday, it’ll be Amanda’s turn to host the challenge again.

Hope you’ll join in this week! Happy Friday!
