Okay, I'm convinced. I drive past about 50 bandoned falling down building in the country as I go up to my cabin... and through an area of Alberta that is listed in the Guiness Book of Records for the number of churches there and these churches…

Hi Swaney3. What I did on the Galveston Pier pic was in photoshop I created a duplicate layer and on that layer I used the radial blur filter set to zoom mode. This zoomed the whole photo but I used the erase tool to erase through the bottom part of…

Oh some city people bought the place. They feed the dog and swim in the fancy pool. The caretaker always makes sure the dog has food and water. The Owners are in DC during the week.

This barn isn't really used.

The original house is long gone.

There is a below ground pool behind the new house.

The purebred german shepherd is kept in a single lonely modern concrete kennel.

What I did on the Galveston Pier pic was in photoshop I created a duplicate layer and on that layer I used the radial blur filter set to zoom mode. This zoomed the whole photo but I used the erase tool to erase through the bottom part of the pic leaving only the sky as zoomed motion.
I also used the NIC Color Efex plug-in > Tonal Contrast to add more details to the bottom part and columns.

I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks
Terry
