You'd think I could find one that was nailed down...

With all the theater DBF and I attend, I have yet to snap a suitable photo of a box office. Driving home from work, I came upon this one for yet another traveling fair. Fellow bloggers can relate to the scene that followed.

• Think..."Box Office! That's a theme!".


• Rummage around in purse for small P&S camera.


• Fumble it out of case while maintaining safe driving speed and distance from target.


• Switch to "sports" mode and hope for the best.


• Balance camera on steering wheel; fire off a shot or two.


• Get home....not my best work, but so much time and energy invested, decide to see what can be made of said photo.

Topaz Simplify to the rescue! Used the "Cartoon" filter as a Soft Light overlay over a Simplified image.
