Esperimenti con Photoshop. Il lavoro che vedete qui è una rielaborazione dello scatto originale (molto articolata direi).
Di solito tendo a non strafare con Photoshop e a usarlo con adeguata moderazione, giusto qualche correzione qua e là sulle alte luci, saturazione, contrasto etc. etc.
Ultimamente però ho visto alcuni tutorial su YouTube su come sfocare lo sfondo, enfatizzare il soggetto, insomma creare proprio uno scatto che con l'originale ha ben poco a che fare. Quindi mi son detto "perché non provare?". Devo dire che il risultato ha sorpreso anche me, oltre ad aver scoperto molto funzioni di Photoshop che erano a me del tutto sconosciute, mi sono divertito parecchio... rimango però fedele alla mia idea, ovvero di non utilizzare Photoshop per creare dei "falsi" ma per intraprendere piccole migliorie e correzioni.

Experiments with Photoshop. The work you see here is a reworking of the original shot (very articulate I would say).
Usually I don't tend to overdo with Photoshop and to use it with adequate moderation, just some correction here and there on highlights, saturation, contrast etc. etc.
Lately, however, I have seen some tutorials on YouTube on how to blur the background, emphasize the subject, in short, create a shot that with the original has very little to do. So I told myself "why not try?". I must say that the result surprised me too, in addition to having discovered a lot of Photoshop functions that were completely unknown to me, I enjoyed a lot ... but I remain faithful to my idea, that is not to use Photoshop to create "fakes" "but to undertake small improvements and corrections.

Some of the photos my phone takes are "superbly lit" by the best kind of natural day light I could ever hope for. But it also "reveals" a lot about my face details and the pores of my skin, and other "age defects" :( So, in an effort to "help" my feminine appearance, I could not resist, for once, some experimental retouching... Simply made my skin "softer". I guess I could use a lot of tricks but my goal is not to cheat but to show the person you would meet if we ever have the chance to meet in person, one day
sparrows are regular visitors. lovely to see them :)
panasonic lumix tz70
this afternoon i continued to experiment with my new camera. i used the scene and macro settings together with the focus lever. it's a lovely camera to hold and the weight all ok ... but practise, practise, practise
i had been waiting for a panasonic lumix tz90 but there is a global shortage of point and shoot cameras petapixel.com/2021/10/15/the-camera-industry-is-trapped-d... i was on various waiting lists but no stockist had any idea when it would be available. a panasonic lumix tz70 was in stock last week www.lcegroup.co.uk/New-Equipment-Home/ i bought it rather than have a possible prolonged frustrating wait for the tz90
for many years my garden was a shrubbery flic.kr/p/Lhv9ag which i loved. a picket fence covered in an ivy hedge coming down in a storm meant that over time changes had to happen flic.kr/p/2mn2x8a i'll be glad when the trellis is covered in honeysuckle and jasmine. that's the plan ...
www.flickr.com/groups/gardening_is_my_hobby/ helpful for ideas. thank you for sharing
I'm happy with the composition apart from maybe the distracting trees? Any comments would be greatly appreciated :-)
done in Mainz on an nice Hall of Fame. With Dater, Pixeljuice, Monkey and Disco. The whole wall coming soon
Experimenting with flash and longer exposures with my new Sigma 20mm f1.4 ART lens! This was the first shot of the night and my favorite of the set! Lightroom only.
I had never heard the term Dutch Angle before, I probably would have described it as wonky. I have never set out to take a wonky picture before. I probably would have made the subject wonky if I thought it would help. So today was an interesting experiment.
Some people wonder about the dof in this photo. Yes, it is a shallow dof image, I think something like 4.5. I also added a very light layer of gaussian blur to soften the lines. That is why the focus seems a bit soft, even on the parts that should be dead sharp. It was another of my experiments - I wanted to achieve a very smooth image.
As I moved the slider along to change the hue and saturation, I noticed that at the pace it changes it creates an effect of different colours. And so I print screened them and these are my results..
18/365
Okay, so this is an experiment combined with an 'I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep' state of an image. But I actually quite liked where it stood, in its weird sort of blendly forest present state. So I decided to let it just remain like that instead of staying awake...day 18, yay!
An experiment with ICM (Intentional Camera Movement), this won't appeal to many as a railway photograph, I mean it's all out of focus and looks a mess, but it does have some appeal to me.
This is just an experimental shot and process which in all honesty I didn't think anything would result, with the camera set on a longish exposure, I clicked and rotated the camera as the train approached, I did another when the train had passed, two images are straightened and merged in Photoshop with a multiply layer blend. There are no other Photoshop special effects.
A Transpennine Class 185 passing through Morley station - Friday 28th June 2019 4:38 pm.
Guess who's off sick?
Anyway, playing about with some filters I was given by a friend - this is a "soft spot" filter, which I guess is meant to give kind of the same effect as a lensbaby (ie only one part in focus, the rest blurred), but I was quite disappointed as the effect isn't very obvious, in fact it's pretty negligible...so I just thought I'd play about and whack on as much grain and noise on it as possible, hence me shooting at ISO 1600, plus adding extra in PS...anyway, I was trying to get some creepy shots of dolls (as you do) and I quite like how they came out...
Because I was a teacher, 95% of my 'work' (LOL!) falls into 'experiments','doodles',or demonstrations.
Only on extremely rare occasions have I set out to do a piece of work with serious intent. The nine Fruit of the Spirit hangings fall into this last category. You can see them in my Church banners set if you are interested. see here www.flickr.com/photos/16054928@N07/albums/72157625102416370
This above was a demonstration/experiment, one of many "Blind leading the Blind" experiences so familiar to my pupils: we all enjoyed the frisson of 'Miss' not having a clue what she was doing, as it was for the first time!
