I scoured my camera roll for landscape photos of my hometown (from four years ago; time flies!)
I kept the interface for this demonstration simple. I played with two blur settings on the paint.net application that I had not tried before: Surface Blur and Unfocus. To see how the blurred backgrounds affect text, I included information about each location name featured in the center of the photo.
I have attached downloadable versions of these photos (original - surface - unfocus) if anyone would like to use them. The .story file is also attached for download if anyone is interested in using this demo for their own work in some way. They are accessible in the following Review360 link:

- Ron_Katz3 years agoCommunity MemberYvonne, wonderful set of pictures and great use of the technique. I love how you give us a choice at the beginning with the clean menu that previews what we will see. The use of the icons with the hover-state descriptions makes it very easy for any learner to interface with.
- Yvonne3 years agoCommunity MemberThank you for providing feedback, Ron. I had an hour of time after completing a work project early, and tried to do something quickly. The unique contribution I felt I could have made in this time frame was for sharing some of my own photographs of a lesser known island town.
It's a pleasure to hear from you. It's quite often that simple works go unnoticed and it's nice to felt seen. :) Have a great upcoming weekend.
