I have been pleasantly surprised by the interest in a couple of colour abstracts I have posted recently. So I have decided to post a small series of 5. (This is number 3 of 5)
The effect is achieved through post processing, although selection of the base image is critically important. I have chosen to apply a high degree of ''radial blur'' to simple images with multiple bold colours. The selection of blur parameters also significantly affects outcomes. Inevitably, I add or subtract an eclectic mix of other ingredients such as contrast and saturation. ;-)
So you try lots of options and discard many failures. But then there are some where the planets align!
Although I reside in Australia, all of the images I've chosen for these colour abstracts were shot by me in South American countries renowned for their use of bold, bright colours.
