Mirror Weaving

Sliders Sunday is a group for over-processed images. This one complies perhaps better than some of the stuff I post here. I tend to think some are subtly over-processed, which is kind of oxymoronic of me.

 

Any idea what it is? Go on, have a guess (you know when I say that, I think you have no hope of being right, but your fertile imagination is probably more fun than reality anyway!).

 

As a clue it’s the same subject as the one I posted earlier in the week: Captured Love just taken from a bit further back… Honest!

 

Just to try and convince you I shall share a general view of the scene (my daughter’s driveway) and the in-camera original in the first comment.

 

It’s a four-capture, in-camera, multiple exposure of the Nigella forest using ICM in four different directions and Lighten blending. Overprocessing then retrieves vivid colours from the bland jpeg and using oversharpening with the High Pass/Linear Light approach multiple times with a bit of wellie (= adjusting the sliders using your feet while wearing Wellington boots…) on the Unsharp Mask and the Dehaze tool and zapping the saturation and here you are. Oh and did I mention mirroring using Distort>Mirror in Affinity to get the symmetry? Ah well… describing it is so much more tedious than actually doing it.

 

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