About

I have noticed lately that some of my photos were not appearing in Big Huge Lab's Scouting program but were shown in Explore.

Some examples are as follows:

Nudgeeliciousness, Rust, and Nudgeelicious.

Not sure what to think of it but I thought I'd dedicate this photo for their rusty algorithm.

This was taken at Woody Point, Queensland.

Viewing large on black shows all the grungy details. ;)

This is an old Plymouth that sits in a driveway in my neighborhood. I love the colors of the rust against the fading body paint. Throw a little chrome in there and it's photographic eye candy. ;)

PROCESSING NOTES:

for each individual image I ...

- duplicated the Background Layer, changed to LAB Mode, ran a high-pass filter, changed back to RGB Mode, and switched the blend mode of that layer to Soft Light

- duplicated the new layer to double the effect

- made another duplicate of the Background Layer, dragged it to the top, ran high-pass filter, changed blend mode of that layer to Soft Light (to bring out details even more)

- made a stamp of all layers, added a b&w adjustment layer, manually adjusted it for a high-contrast look, switched that stamped layer to Soft Light blend mode, then tweaked the b&w adjustment layer until I achieved the desired look

- added a texture layer to the top and changed it's blend mode to Soft Light

After putting them all into the collage then individual adjustments were made (curves, hue, levels, masks where needed, etc.) to get them all to flow well.

Le chapeau avec les nattes de mon bonhomme chinois travailleur des champs a perdu toute sa fraîcheur. Cet objet de décoration n'a pas été bien entretenu puisque oublié dans le patio. Le temps a pris le dessus et la rouille en a bien profité. #Macro #MacroMondays #Rust
