When the water receded the cleanup began. This isn’t the dump….it’s some of the debris from one house that was flooded two weeks ago in the worst flood in Nashville’s recorded history. 13 inches of rain fell in two days causing the area rivers to rise as much as 13 feet above flood stage. This is the sight on many streets and some entire neighborhoods around Nashville. Several houses on one side of this street were flooded. All are in the process of cleaning up, making repairs, and getting on with life. From the road, you can see construction dumpsters filled to overflowing behind these houses. On the roadside, awaiting pickup by the garbage trucks, are the remnants of people’s lives.
I’m proud to live in the Nashville area. People here pull together and get things done, even when faced with disaster. Neighbors helping neighbors, doing whatever it takes. That’s the way we do it here.

I recently came across an article on how to mimick a tilt shift lens effect in Photoshop and thought I’d try it on a couple of my images. The instructions I followed are here. The instructions are pretty simple, but getting the look takes some trial and error. It took several attempts before I got the blur and in focus areas the way I wanted them. If you want to know more about real tilt shift lenses and what they can do, you can find more here. I didn’t think my attempts were too bad for a first try. What do you think?
