Having fun with glow

I'm definitely a novice with lots to learn, but I'm getting better. This is some PS work I did for a friend. Top picture is SOOC.

Camera: Nikon D7000

Filter: Cokin ND8

This abstract started out as a second POV of a rustic picnic canopy at Coyote Hills Regional Park. I used a PS plug-in filter to create the echoed shapes/angles and then a couple of gradient layers for the colors. Finished it with a border and stroke line. More guesswork and experiments:)

Took these shots on a recent trip to LA. I'm pretty surprised how well the composition turned out seeing as I had to prevent about a bazillion fannypack-wearing tourists from walking into my shot and security was nagging me to close my tripod.

Thank you very much, my friends!

A very very modified Orton: playing with ShowFoto and TheGIMP on Ubuntu Linux.

I modified the saturation on the original RAW shot, selectively used Gaussian Blur and desaturation on one duplicated layer and transaprently mixed with the original layer.

taken at Yamanashi ken, Japan

Pushed over the top, admitted. Not even cropped to best advantage. However, it is just one of millions of combinations that could have been done.

What I am discussing here is taking flat, bland, images and adding interest.

See what you can do with it.

That shot looked like a painting right out of the camera and I admit it wasn't intended as such, motion blur maybe ? I was shooting from a car, through the windshield. Any ideas how it turned out like that ?

just a test, really

I had only recently spied this church near Baden Lake. Being by my self and in the truck, I stopped and took some shots, three exposures per shot.

Gift for m0rgy as suggested by aopho here The light bleed is exaggerated and it's not the best use of the clone tool but it's what I could get away with @ work w/ The Gimp.

My first photo on Blipfoto. How exciting, novel.

This was perhaps my first true bokeh shot, and it was almost effortless.

Photoshop of course is an amazing way to do touch up work on portrait photography. However, all too often the touch up artist takes things too far, either by choice or more often becuase they simply don’t know the techniques for doing natural touch up work in Photoshop.
