Abstract and time lapse images from the fireworks on Webster Lake - North Webster, IN - July 2, 2016
This is a close up shot of a leaf from a variegated ginger plant. When I first started working on this image I was unhappy with the original shot. The highlights (glare from the sky) were not exposed properly. As I tried to darken them a bit, the highlighted areas took on a blue color and that is when an idea formed. I began playing with some of the artistic filters in Photoshop. It was a fun experiment as I had never used any of them before. This is the end result of my fun with filters. The vein of the leaf became the perfect "road" (I gave it a little twist) in this very abstract ginger leaf "landscape"
Didn't really get a shot today apart from this air conditioning unit fan (I did need to work on it a little in PS to make something interesting). I nipped out to get a shot of some cool demolition machines but couldn't get close (with a 50mm) so this was the only fruit of my 10 minutes :-)
