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.

Alcuni dei tutorial che ho visto su YouTube:

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.

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 wrote this in the middle of the night. couldn't sleep for all the ideas in my head.

experiment, double exposure, ghost biker.

Not bad for a first try :)

Ghostly worthy enough for me ;-)

Erection reflection !!! hehehehehe

@David style ! have a XXXL day ,

Experimenting with long exposure. I think it will be a cool shot on a night with a more colorful sunset.

While having a lazy sunny winter sunday, the reflection of sun into the living room gave me that idea. I had done other shoots as well, with tea glasses etc, the view was nice the photos were not. That was the only shoot, that I loved. It was hard to choose a title; like 2 Circles, sun & shadow etc.. Thank you all my nice Fickr friends, who visied my page, commented or faved or just viewed..You gave me inspiration to start that hobby. I have seen your photos, all the peoplle I follow or who follows me (thank you all..) and then I decided to start to take the camera in my hand. The results might not be on the good level yet, but I try and I love it..

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.

 

A Transpennine Class 185 passing through Morley station - Friday 28th June 2019 4:38 pm.

I bought an eyeshadow palette thinking I’d convert it to a watercolor palette, but before washing out the eyeshadow paste and replacing it with tube watercolors, I thought I’d try doing a painting using the eyeshadow colors. They contain mica and are shiny. It doesn’t really show up in the scan. I mixed in some Chinese white watercolor paint to get the bright whites. Image is about 5.5x10 inches (25.5x14 cm).

 

I used the included "brush". It’s a stick with a small, soft, cheap brush on one end and a foam applicator on the other. I like the colors and soft look like pastel. A fun experiment for. $4.

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!!!!

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.

Normally, I use aperture priority to take my images. On this day, I set up with plenty of sunlight on shutter priority with the intention of getting the hummingbird with frozen wings. The shot is darker than I like but the high shutter speed definitely worked on the wings,

 

This will be the last posting for me for a couple of weeks. My wife and I are going with my daughter and her family to Disney World in Orlando. Hopefully, I'll have a shot of Mickey Mouse to post upon our return.

under the skies that transcend billions of universes,

the outsized elephant-room of questions & secrets;

deepak ` the lightwriter's canvas broach in open.

 

we read our dread, Who if I cried out would hear me?

 

mind the stillness-mat viz; feelings get encroached; at

first, you praise their dress, then you get ash-dressed.

'ours' keeps breaking - ourselves, within our perimeter.

bully / pulpit alters us; diminishes sickle consciousness.

betwixt the micro spaces of conversation / correctness,

a certain static silence had enshrined in - just all over.

 

harbinger of tenuous assumptions kept on ossifying

into the experiments with musts, doubts, turncoats.

approvers bare intimacy that bears inching eyes;

and when one is completely inside one's perfidy,

a cover-up mindset suborns a hushed horizon —

pretends - the decisions had been difficult. 'yes'

— deserts us in a forgetting curve that reminds us,

of sti-ff-ness between us, culturing the same sky.

take over air consternates us-sets dreams on fire.

formless hubris viz debris, give themselves to gust

to be e'er scattered betwixt this/that; bedraggled.

 

zeroing in, insecurity at the heart of human constructs

the displaced shoes let you see, the surface of yore.

a long haul to dig and find, the great heart of our past.

no spin here, to foresee, real ground under our feet.

unchopping a tree, perched on wasteland, silences..

a thousand mile stare, ensouls thousand silhouettes:

anagram—breathy.ed each other to the bridging truth;

and learnedness, endlessly multiplied with curtain call.

 

where e g /oquence isolates honest assessment, not

being one of their chiliad/st.ic quarters isn't isolation.

not a diminishment, if being exercised more fully -

- truth's episodic memory is tender and unwavering;

ongoing procedure of days - = - simply transformative,

to rain align, all the absorbed moments of illumination.

bathed in light, friendships bear holistic temperament

alert, alert, alter! “after the game is before the game”.

 

tales shine in via our window of thousand caresses,

where you are sewing a blouse that feeds the spine.

tender paws & sky-ball inside, dashing out of a conch;

over tears-coasts, the white expanse, so kind & clear.

coconut chirping an intrinsic and glorious awakening.

rose dew here, and trouble talk lies beyond the map.

the truth is made real through servitude in affection.

psithurism of intimate revelations recalls clutched keys;

the key did turn. everywhere you turn is full of wonder.

awed to see - the shift inside, shifts deep garden state!

how did a blackbird of the milky way land up here,

that joy glistens in the kaleidoscopic, tent•i•er eyes.

how else to truly trace this landscape of provenance,

a cat following a radiant butterfly to the ringing bells.
