Lights in the Firmament v1 - Proper Edit
It’s been a while since I have done a set of interpretations of a single capture. This set is based on an image of one of the ornate chandeliers and ceilings in the Brighton Royal Pavilion. The Pavilion was built as a summer pleasure palace for George IV at the turn of the 18th century. It’s a marvellous, fantastical place. The image was taken last November.
There are four images in the set. I’ll link to the in-camera original in a comment as well so that you can see where we started.
V1 - This is a ‘proper’ edit using Capture One and Affinity Photo. This is the basis for the other three versions.
V2 - This version uses Nik Color Efex, which uses all sorts of compounded effects, including a bi-colour filter.
V3 - This version uses Nik Analog Efex to give a double image effect with two copies of the basic shot. The second copy is scaled and zoom blurred a little.
V4 - This version is a play with Topaz Studio 2 using the remix filter to change the colours. I’ll put this one in for Sliders Sunday this week.
I find straight up central chandelier shots interesting. I guess it’s the symmetry and abstraction. This picture reminds me of a spaceship, which is often how my little bear’s brain interprets symmetric abstracts. Perhaps I should have called it Rama 37 or somesuch. The Pavilion has lots of good painted ceilings and chandeliers so I was in a personal playground.
Anyway, part of the fun with these sets is letting you choose your favourite. It’s always interesting how people differ, though often the most popular is the plain edit (a humbling reminder of how easily I waste my time for no purpose, lol).
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the set. Happy Sliders Sunday :)
