Let There Be Light

Allium - yep, seriously :)

 

And so the sliders slid...

 

The title comes from Genesis chapter 1 (verse 3). It's always appealed to the physicist in me. I have often wondered what it was like...

 

For Sliders Sunday and I have linked the in-camera original in the first comment as per usual. My intent was to go for stars and bright colours alluding to the magnificence (for me) of that creative instant...

 

Thanks for taking time to look. I hope you enjoy the image! Happy Sliders Sunday :)

 

[Lightroom: Contrast, Vibrance, Clarity, Saturation and Highlights/Shadows suitably mangled.

Into Topaz Studio and something strange happened. I'm not entirely sure what :)

It started in Glow (a Graphics preset in particular); then I remember an HSL layer to change the hue, lightness and saturation for specific colours (e.g. purples).

Then I think a Colour Theme layer to change two of the more pastel colourways in the result.

The edge effects were produced using a red Vignette, as well as an elliptical focal blur.

And I think that was it... ]
