The subject:
============
This is part of a spider web breaking the light at 08:13 in the morning.
The focus of the original shot is by purpose unsharp.
Thus the camera captures the diffused light as broad strings.
If the focus was sharp the web-strings would be filigree and the gaps between the web-strings would be of huge amounts larger than the strings themselves - the light would be as thin as the web-strings.
The post processing of the original shot:
=========================================
- border parts of the subject are irrelevant thus cropped
- curves in lab mode to increase contrast and strenghten colors with: lightness=auto, a and b curves set to the same values in=15/out=0 and in=85/out=100
- smart filters: Filter -> Stylize -> Emboss with: angle=-63, height=3, amount=500
The presentation (two frames balanced):
=======================================
Following layers
1. backgroud 4000x1550
- filled with white and having a black stroke inside
2. left rectangle 1813x337
- filled with black
- having a black stroke outside
3. left photo
- contains the variant without the emboss filter
- photo placed as a smart object (File->Place) and thus exchangeable
- photo size reduced with free transform to almost rectangle size
- layer 3 and 2 bound with a clipping mask
4. right rectangle 1813x337
- filled with black
- having a black stroke outside
5. right photo
- contains the variant with the emboss filter
- photo placed as a smart object (File->Place) and thus exchangeable
- photo size reduced with free transform to almost rectangle size
- layer 5 and 4 bound with a clipping mask
6. caption
A large version is available too when you're logged in.
The original shot reduced from raw is in the workshop area.
Your comments and/or critiques are welcome.
Happy shooting :)
