Glass brick… No, really :)
Photographing glass bricks is a strange pastime but in this case I had in mind creating something for Sliders Sunday. I’ll copy the original in-camera image so you can revel in its… well… boringness.
First step was to add colour so I gradient mapped a pretty gradient (that is, mapped the various black and white tones to a gradient: Photoshop, Affinity Photo and Corel Painter allow you to do this easily with the latter two being more powerful I think).
See Glass Brick I for the result of this interim stage, which forms the basis for the other three in the set.
The rest is detailed magic (which I’ll summarise below). I thought it looked like a brain, hence the title :)
This set has been gestating for around four weeks. And it was not getting better, so I thought I’d best publish them and move on… Such is creativity: it just doesn’t flow easily sometimes.
Hope you still like them though. Any favourite?
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday :).
[Handheld in daylight.
Gradient mapped to produce Glass Brick I.
Duplicated layer, flipped horizontally and blended to get a symmetric pattern. Mangled colour to taste.
Rectangular to Polar coordinate conversion to get the globe and the radiating rays.
Normally the rays each are one colour but I thought that was a bit boring so I used and HSL layer to shift the hue and added a radial mask so that it only affected the outer parts of the rays.
Dark blue border with fine white line around the pic, and we’re done.
The original image linked below so you can see how far we came.]
Quase dois dias foram gastos para fazer isso, além de usar alguns stocks, para a manipulação eu usei várias imagens de carros, motos e dentre outras máquinas. Nenhum tutorial foi seguido, apenas a criatividade fluindo. Enjoy it!
the plan was to illustrate the often blurred distinction between the natural and the artificial.
this was taken on a recent camping trip I embarked on with a few friends around Tasmania, Australia.
as always, your favourites and comments are very much appreciated.
follow me here! :)
with love,
Ben
I'm quite disquieted about artificial intelligence and robots. Especially when they look like humans. Do they think the same about us?
A las doce y media de la noche, Oviedo, en la entrada del Calatrava, haciendo pasar frío a mi hermano
[...] onde sull'oceano
onde sull'oceano
che dolcemente si placherà.
le mie mani stringono
sogni lontanissimi e il
tuo respiro soffia su me.
remo, tremo, sento
vento intorno al cuore
è per l'amore che ho per te
che mi fa superare
mille tempeste
per l'amore che ti do
per l'amore che vorrei
da questo mare
è per la vita che non c'è
che mi fai naufragare
in fondo al cuore
tutto questo ti avrà
e a te sembrerà
tutto normale. [...]
Some people dislike artificially colored roses. Those are the purists; and I respect their value system. That being said I don't mind seeing artificially color infused roses occasionally. In kinda of a strange metaphorical sense I guess, they make me visualize a drunken rainbow. Lol 😄
Vuelvo con un experimento.
El verano pasado, el de 2008, me propusieron hacer fotografía de moda, y aproveché la oportunidad para probar algo nuevo para mi.
Las fotos que colgaré desde hoy son para el nº 2 de “Artificial Magazine”
La responsable de la publicación, Marta Represa, quería dedicar el número a la música de Tom Waits, y esto es lo que hicimos a partir de su tratamiento de la modelo, Fife, y con mi forma de ver el color en relación con el genial músico
