Red And Violet In The Abstract - Liquified
The photo club that I belong to, Polyphoto in San Diego, had a workshop today, designed to stir up our creative juices. The title of this workshop was Aberration Photography. It started off with us using macro lenses with extension tubes photographing either narrow beams of light or direct sunlight passing through water droplets or glass surfaces so that the light beam was scattered and refracted. The results are unpredictable and pretty different for everyone. After a while people just started doing their own things using colored paper, water with food dye in it and whatever else came to mind. I thought that it was a great exercise in creativity. I love abstract color and shapes, so I had a really good time.
After adjusting the color and contrast I decided to guild the lilly and mess with it a little using Photoshop's liquify command. Below in the comments you can see the "straight" version of the image.
If you don't hate images manipulated in Photoshop you might enjoy my Photoshopped set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157604211983504/...
