Default Speed Challenge #119 - Beach Blanket Bingo
Theme: "Beach Blanket Bingo" -- for those of you toooo young to remember (which is probably most of you - because I'm REALLY old), or know what this is, it is the name of a movie with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello, circa about mid-late 1960ish. If you don't know who Frankie Avalon or Annette Funicello are, you have to "google" them!!!

Just about anything one can do to this shot is bound to improve it. What I'm looking for is a beach party theme -- the closer you come to capturing the theme of the above movie, the better. How's that for a "challenge?" You didn't know research was required, did you?

Winner will be selected one week from today. Have fun.

Here is a list of the beach movies:

Beach Party
Muscle Beach Party
Bikini Beach
Beach Blanket Bingo
Pajama Party
How to Stuff a Wild Bikini
Back to the Beach

By the way, 'Pajama Party' and 'Mars Needs Women' both have one thing in common: Tommy Kirk playing a Martian invading the earth.

WOW, I'M IMPRESSED !! Great job Lydia and Scott. Scott, I really like what you did with my "blown out" sky. Both of you have made a very boring shot very interesting and have this challenge off to a great start.

WELL, CURSES AND HECK !!!! I just spent the last hour +++ working on my photo with about 8 layers, and something weird happened to my computer and, you guessed it, its gone, gone, gone !! (Note to self: can you say "SAVE"?) My feelings are now hurt, so I'm taking my beach ball and going away for another day and will try to recreate my entry when I'm not so ticked off . . . . .

Keep those entries coming!!!!

Here is my version. After doing this twice because of the computer glitch last night, one would hope that I learned a lot. I became familiar with a couple more tools and learned how to "burn" out my blown out sky (but I've yet to figure out where the heck the end of Annette's surfboard went ), so what I ended up with is:


A day at the beach with Annette and her pals -- SURF'S UP !!!
