Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2008 12:08 am Post subject: Playing with extremes.
I was just playing tonight, as I so very often do, and thought maybe this is worth a mention.
When I started using Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop I was constrained by an innate (I suppose) conservatism, and would shy away from extremes. That same conservatism has affected how I take pictures and is something I have tried to address over the years. I don't think I have really got to grips with it in a way that might enable me to produce startling and unusual pictures, but playing with the camera and later development of my pictures has become something I value enormously. I certainly take more 'risks' now and I have learnt to enjoy both taking pictures and playing with them afterwards a whole lot more.
I thought I'd put these up just as thoughts really. The first is a series where I have increased the saturation in each successive image, in the second I've pushed the Infra red function in Paint Shop Pro, the last image in the series of six requiring some smoothing to get rid of some nasty jaggedness from the process, and lastly I have combined the two sets using the screen blend mode.
As I say, it's just a thought really, but I hope it's helpful.
