![Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Star Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 687 W: 111 N: 847]](http://i1.treklens.com/misc/g-g-g.gif) (4087) | 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. |
