| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
This is another experiment into the world of transforming snapshots into imitation paintings by using the tools of the digital darkroom. The starting point was a photo from the archives taken on a morning cyclingtrip on midsummer's day last year in Denmark. I have posted just a resized version of the original photo as workshop. I have also posted a cropped, clarified, saturated, resized, noisefiltered and sharpened version of just before the artwork began. For the crop you will notice that I concentrated on dividing into thirds and balancing the photo that way. That would normally have been the kind of photo I like to post. But then I decided to add some extras such as an edge-preserving-smooth filter, topnotch saturation, enhanced edges (which of course collided conventiently with the soft edges I has just created) and finally a border.
I do not pretend to have anything to teach anybody, but I feel this site is slowly beginning to lose the learning angle. Supposedly we are here to learn new techniques from each other. Some that we like and some that we don't. But if we don't explain the techniques in detail, then TrekLens changes direction and becomes just another web-gallery.
Stay warm out there. |

Hi Per,
Can't quite work it out! I think the edge-presevation and smoothing have thrown me here :)Somewhere between a painting and a photo.
You gave it a nice soft feeling with your PP, I'd like to spend some time just sitting there enjoying the day, Nice work!

Mmmm... I like the way you cropped this, Per, definitely better than the complete tree... though in that shot you could have concentrated on the tree and cropped more from the left. As for the conversion to a painting, I cannot see its value here... I prefer the shot you started with.
One nice touch is the 'face in profile' that appears in the tree, though ;o). It looks as if the tree is peeking at the spectators. TFS.
