Glass brick.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image!
[This is based on another marbled version of Glass Brick I (similar to Glass Brick II).
In Affinity Photo I used the perspective tool to make a vertical wedge.
Copied the layer flipped vertically and then blended both layers with each other (using Pin Light I think) against a deep blue background fill layer.
Finally used a 2-mirror distort filter to create the symmetry.
Did you want to know all that? Probably not! ... But it's pretty isn't it? (It looks nicer slightly zoomed so feel free to try pressing Z :)]

I am trying to get around gradient maps in photoshop. They are very creative but quite fiddly and this is my first post with an inverted one
Gradient maps can vary the tonal range for the darkest to the lightest range with chosen colours
Best viewed large. Photo of a tinfoil sculpture on a sunny day with lots of trees. I added my favorite gradient map and a few tweaks.

surtout essayé de bosser les couleurs, même si ça manque un peu de netteté...
People taking the escalator up and down the Schelde tunnel in Antwerp, using the opportunity to move while chatting. These escalators are on the city side of the tunnel. The framed pictures on the side document the construction of the tunnel in the 1930es. // Seen during the photography meeting of the TLC group.
Rose. No, honestly.
This is an image of a very pretty rambling rose that grows down the side of my home, and which fills the air with a wonderful, divinely romantic scent whenever it is flowering.
OK. I’d better own up. I published a proper shot of this last June (flic.kr/p/M8987W). I don’t usually reprocess things I’ve done before but in this case I was doing it anyway, so I thought I might as well share it on Flickr for Sliders Sunday.
I needed to produce five images on a common theme for a competition at my local camera club next week. And I was struggling to find five of mine with anything in common...
Then inspiration (which conveniently rhymes with desperation) struck! I thought of Psychedelic Petals where I could use four of my existing sliders slid flower images.
I have discovered, to my disappointment, that I don’t get anywhere near winning these sorts of competitions. I think to win photographic club competitions you need to produce images that conform to generally accepted ideas of what constitutes a good photo.
Well, I guess I am too old and grumpy to do that. And I’ve probably been too old and grumpy to do that since I was a teenager…
So I console myself that I join in only to provide entertainment, and perhaps the odd idea (as I’m good at really odd ideas :) ). After all, it’s not about winning but about taking part, as long as you win of course :) .
I’ve created two new versions of this flower picture both based on the previously published version. This one is the most far out so I shall share it on Sliders Sunday.
I’ve also used a different approach which has created a more subtle flowerly effect which I’ll also share today. I’ll probably use the this other one (Petal Psychedelia) for the competition, but I would be really interested to hear which you prefer.
As usual for Sliders Sunday I shall publish a link to the in-camera capture so you can see how far we came.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday!!
[For the basic processing see the previous version from last June linked above.
The approach here was very straightforward. In Corel Painter I expressed a rainbow coloured gradient in the image (I actually chose a conical gradient but I’m not sure if this is any different from a linear gradient in the effect it creates. This effectively remaps of the colours in the image onto the gradient (or perhaps the other way round lol) - it was just a matter of tweaking the start point of the express gradient filter to get an effect that was something interesting.]
Glass brick.
Marbled.
Marbling is a way of processing wet paint images by drawing out colours in wavy lines. The technique was used of old to create the pretty patterns you see in the bookends of antique or fine books.
This image is based on Glass Brick 1 using the marbling tool in Corel Painter, one of those addictive toys that is great fun to play with. This one is based on multiple iterations in various directions.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image!
PS Depending on your device this is nicer zoomed in : press Z if you wish :)
A photograph of a spider's web spotted between some railings outside OUP one dismal rainy January day. The view through the railings is very uninspiring so I've played around in Elements and created a background which has turned out ressembling the 'Big Bang' lol !
Textures:
This photo is actually rotated 90 degrees. I have some clematis growing on a frame, next to a stucco coated pillar. The shadows created what looked like a sideways garden growing on the pillar. I just added a gradient map to make the colours more interesting.
Looking straight up a towering conifer, the bark glows like molten ember against a calm blue sky. A perspective where the tree becomes cathedral and volcano all at once.
ถ่ายภาพนางแบบมา แล้วนำภาพมาผสมกับภาพสถาปัตยกรรมที่มีรูปทรงและลวดลายที่ชอบ ทำภาพสถาปัตยกรรมนั้นให้เบลอด้วย Motion Blur ในแนวดิ่ง โดยทำให้เบลอมากๆตามขอบภาพ ตรงกลางภาพให้มีความคมชัดเหลืออยู่บ้าง แต่ยังให้ฟุ้งเบลอด้วย ใช้เลเยอร์มาสค์บังภาพนางแบบในบางส่วนเอาไว้ ปรับแต่งผสมสีสันของภาพด้วยฟิลเตอร์ Gradient Map ในโหมด Color ลด Opacity ลงนิดหน่อยพอให้เห็นสีผิวจางๆ วิดีโอคลิปบนยูทูบ
I made this for my friend who is a librarian. Canon T3i. Edited in Lightroom and gradient map applied in Photoshop.

Just loved how it looks like the lamp is emanating light, despite the fact that it has no socket and no light bulb; just loose wires.
Sorry for my absence the last little while. I won't be posting or commenting until September 24th at the earliest. So busy with work...
I have a new compact camera - the Canon PowerShot S90 - and this is the first image I've posted from it.

A shot of Jennie standing infront of City Hall. This is Jennie, I met her on Model Mayhem. Her Model Mayhem Number is: 1657168.
About the Photo
*Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS *Lens: EF-S 18-55mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 IS *Shutter Speed: 1/30 Sec. *Aperture Value: ƒ/5.6 *ISO: 100 *Focal Length: 55mm (80mm Equivalent in 35mm Film)
I shot this on a tripod. To the left of the camera was a bare Canon Speedlite 430EX II pointed at her 4 feet outside of the frame at full power and at 105mm. To the right of the camera was the sun, together these two light sources provided a cross light for the model.
I opened the RAW file in ACR and did my usual tone curve adjustments and exposure corrections. I opened the RAW file in CS4 and saved it as a 16 bit TIFF file and preceded to edit it. I used Scott Kelby's gradient map method of converting to black and white. I added the rain by creating digital noise and bluring it using motion blur and changing the blend mode to screen. I added more rain to the background to give the image a better sense of depth. I added a bit of noise near the model's hands to look like rain drops frozen in the air by flashes. To create the halo of light around the model I duplicated the layer and changed the blend mode to "multiply" and added a mask, then took a large soft brush and removed the layer around the model. I did this a second time but only to the background behind the model to create a further sense of depth to the image. I also selected areas individually and adjusted the contrast of each. I also used the bloat and turbulence tools to slightly change some of the model's proportions. At the end I converted to sRGB colourspace and saved as a JPEG to upload to the internet.
my friends, i do believe we're dancing on the precipice of mouth of a sailor, heart of a saint being finished.
honestly, i've never felt more excited or accomplished.
:)
in other news, check out this pitchfork review of my extremely talented cousin andrew's new solo album. it's really aces, i promise!
A version of another of the photographs I took of the leaves of a neighbour's Begonia. I can imagine this as design on a 1920's or30's silk dressing gown when "Chinoiserie" was popular.

We all had to use the same photo but process it in our own way.
I like how mine came out. Now off to check how the other's did.
Another thing I'll miss about Edmonton is money. This city was very good to me eventually in terms of making a living. I can say I didn't become a professional until I moved here.
Sailing to its final destination
I'm not going to lie: this photo astounds me. I don't really know how i could create something like this - but I vaguely remember many many minutes spent toiling with gradient maps, textures, saturation, local contrast enhancement, and curves. Then this happened.
How the shot was taken: you might be wondering about the tilted horizon. Besides just wanting to offer a different perspective, if I had done a regular, flat horizon, there would be ugly land in the picture. I wanted something more abstract, that emphasized the ocean and the ship more, hence the tilted perspective.
There's no deep theme or purpose that I had in mind when I took or edited this shot - I just wanted to create something pretty that is interesting to look at, and that feels powerful, and I really hope I have succeeded.
Glass brick.
Gradient mapped... Well at least it's one way to get the colour in...
This image was intended as the starting point for some more serious messing about, but I quite like it as it is so I thought I would share it :)
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image!

do you ever think about all the things worth thinking about? Or maybe about all the books worth reading? Or about all the things worth doing? Yet you can only think, read, do so much... how do you choose?
