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 ...

(Thanks to Karlyn Holman and her video on Webbing/Marbleizing Spray)
I'm happy with the composition apart from maybe the distracting trees? Any comments would be greatly appreciated :-)
Eine kleine Spielerei vom Wochenende.
Angeregt durch die Chip Foto-Video 12/2013, wollte ich das Experiment ausprobieren. Ich kann es nur empfehlen. Man benötigt einen Metallquirl (aus der Küche), ein Stück Schnur (1,5 m) und Stahlwolle "000" aus dem Baumarkt. Die Schnur wird an dem Quirl befestigt, in den Quirl stopft man lose die Stahlwolle und los geht es. Die Kameraeinstellung findet Ihr in den Exif-Daten. Ich habe meinen Selbstauslöser (10 s) benutzt, die Zeit reicht gut, die Stahlwolle mit einem Feuerzeug anzuzünden und alles in kreisende Bewegung zu versetzen. Es macht Spaß, Erfolg garantiert!!!!
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..

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!
18 colours totally randomly picked. Each colour for each round chosen with eyes closed. Oddly it seems to work.
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.

This was a time where I would add a little this and a little that to make things pop off....well it's still da same format but like time things have advanced....
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.
This is an experiment on editing color. Today I am going to do a course on Elements, hope it will rub off as I feel I lag a lot of knowledge there.
I am one of these city girls who takes the car for every thing, so I can only dream of cycling, but this is also due to extreme workpressure.

An experiment with expired film
Shot on PC 400 (President's Choice), a supermarket branded film from The Real Canadian Superstore, unknown expiry, rated at ISO/ASA 100. The canister says product of the Netherlands, but from the DX code 005783, this appears to be Fujicolor Superia 400.
Since this roll of film was expired, I decided to experiment with the developing process, so I soaked or "souped" the film in orange pekoe tea with lemon for 14 hours before developing. By accident, I had not twisted and locked the developing tank all the way, so after the developer, the tank top came off as I was pouring out the water used to wash/stop the developer; however, I don't think this affected the outcome much.
I can see a bit of red in some shots, but all other colours were washed off. I might try again, even with fresh film, and less time in the soup, with possibly other "cooking" ingredients.
