An 'amazing circle' on a nice red poppy.

I followed the procedure, first, as outlined here: brilliantdays.com/archives/2005/10/how_to_create_a.php ,

and in the flickr Amazing Circles group: www.flickr.com/groups/amazingcircles/discuss/116859/

I Am using the basic wondrous polar coordinates transformations as beautiful in and of themselves, but also as starting points for grounding them in their origins and/or creating new relationships for them.

Not a very orginal concept, but I wanted to created something more soft, romantic and enchanting. The next works (commissions) will be more bright, so this is a nice change for a moment. ;-)

These are a selection of composites that should never have seen the light of day. I started each one in high spirits and then thought 'meh' this is not working for whatever reason. Some were started again with new imagery and ended up working. Others, well, you can see for yourself. Fail! :)

Some were abandoned very early on. Some were taken to a more finished state only for me to realise that they just weren't doing it for me. Hey ho! You live and learn :)

Thanks to Sarah-Jane, Faestock, Tigersgirl, TyrApollo, Marcus Ranum, The Bonneville Barons et al at DeviantArt :) Sorry these didn't make the cut.

* Ok, sei que já postei essa aqui, mas estou sem fotos novas, então resolvi fazer um crop nela e dar uma geral no tratamento!

* Ok, I know that I already uploaded this one before, but I'm out of new pictures; so I decided to crop that one a little and change the post-processing a bit too!

Chris and Yann are shot against neutral grey paper. The background is a Daz 3D creation with a 3D 50's car added. The file is rendered out as a transparent 24bit PNG file so the blank sky area can have a new image dropped in with no cutting out or masking needed.

Image-manipulation

Maybe this could be a scene from some Bond movie as our hero tries to gain access to the villain's underground lair. Sarah-Jane has been tasked to 'take him down'.

My model Sarah-Jane is shot against a neutral grey background and composited into the scene.

All backgrounds are themselves composites of various elements to create a 'hopefully' dramatic theatrical quality.

I've ways wanted a photo of me walking away. Especially into the unknown. And that's what "The Journey" represents.

Leaving behind my past and walking into the unknown. An unsolved mystery that's scary, but will be written and solved by me. One that I would look forward too.

The glowing gateways represent those little steps of significance and victories I've had along the path. To be ok to sometime be lost and wander around. Making sure that I don't trip over and fall while walking on rocky roads.

I'm not sure if I'll ever reach its end, but all I know and have been told is that the journey is more important than the end.

Part of an ongoing experiment with image manipulation: The images are the result of a 2 stage process. First, a photo is taken of a moving subject. What results is a blurred image, the distortion magnified by the grain and contrast achieved by overdevelopment of the film in the darkroom. Already the face or body has been transformed by the simple act of movement. Then in the second stage, the photo is printed. Sometimes thick glossy varnish is applied across the whole surface of the image, or alternatively, the photo is simply printed onto glossy paper. This one I crumpled and flattened again. This is when more magic happens. Shining light directly onto the surface of the paper, the image is transformed again. This time the transforming agent is light. The surface of the photograph interacts with what is contained within the image. A final photo is taken.

Another pic where I copied my friend Joe's CLICK HERE fabulous idea for bringing the subject to the background. Thanks Dear, and YO JOE!

Thought it was about time to do another render, but do a nice black and white conversion on it this time :)

Yann, master of the slap bass from the Bonneville Barons.

I shot Yann against a neutral grey background and then it's all composited in with it's new background in Photoshop, layered and blended, with use of photo filters to give everything an overall balanced colour cast to help everything sit together.

I found this dramatic tree in Castle Eden Dene. I played around with Analog Efex Pro from Google Nik Software Collection to create this magical effect.

This is a Photohop manipulation of a great photograph taken by Dave, seen in my favorites collection here on flickr. Because the largest size he had online originally was only about 800 pixels in the longest dimension, the crop I used to manipulate the image is very small. The best "amazing circles" are done with high resolution photos that are larger in pixel dimensions to begin with. The group on flickr that has a link to a tutorial on how to do this is here. I got a copy of the original so I could work out a good resolution version that will print very well. This finished image is now larger and shows more detail.

For fun, browse through the group pool for Amazing Circles.

Another quick test using backgrounds created using Daz 3D. Thanks to this great bit of software I can now make my own sets with bits taken from a library of items and structures :)

This is one of the shots I could never find a background I liked to use with it. Sarah-Jane is shot against a neutral grey background and composited into the scene.

Facing Mortality...

Is only a matter of time

Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion

That it may sing and let it direct your passion with reason

That your passion may live through its own daily resurrection

And like a phoenix rise above its own ashes.

~Kahlil Gibran

It was about time I did another circle. I got started archiving a batch of images and got snagged by an image I hadn't yet followed through on my intentions for.. then it 'turned' into a circle image, from a suggestion in the cloud lines.

The inset circle image was made from another similar shot, which was color-shifted using a hue/saturation layer, masked with some of the cloud column for more interplay between the blue/black of the column against the orangey-sunrise colors. Then all was rolled into a circle and moved to this base image., where more cloud masking was done to have it appear behind it. Still another layer was used to create the circle's subtle 'shadow', upper right.

This was a sunSet shot, but with this composition, it serves as a powerful sunrise, in a way.

Your towel and a nice hot cuppa tea.

________________________________________

The ritzy stone my towel ("Mao" to all his flannel mates) is draped over is a piece of building facade on display at the Melbourne Exhibition Building Gardens. The rest is all down to Photoshop filters. The teacup came out of my partner's Bestest China cabinet. I reckon the End Of The Universe would be a suitably grand occassion to bring it out!

I set up a number of pictures for this year's towel day, none of which I was able to do on the actual day, it was wayyyyy too busy a week for that.

But I did carry Mao (and "Red", my other companion towel) with me all day on the 25th, when he proved endlessly useful to pillow my head on the train, amongst all the other usual duties.

Image Manipulation:

Same photo, just blurred the background more than it was originally photographed, and put the cycler's back in.

I enjoy doing that sort of thing, and this one was kind of enjoyable.

Cycling, doing so since childhood. My first bike a Huffy, with an imitation gas tank like a motorcycle. My parents won it at a grocery store drawing! It was a bit big for me, but I grew into it. It gave me a new sense of freedom and my own personal world suddenly was larger.

My color, cobalt blue, seen as an image of metal fencing that is adjusted with contrast and manipulated with the "amazing circle" technique. For those interested, the original photo used is similar to the one uploaded a week ago of this coil of fence. There are several more of these macro shots that I am still working with now. Every so often I get an urge to just have some play time in Photoshop and tonight's experiment was fun.

I quite like these 'before and after' images. Shall try to do more of them :)
