Thread: Dud to Psychelic with Adobe

Interesting...

I really like what it has done to the bridge, it's given it a nice texture but it kinda turns the trees into a bit off a mess.

Maybe you could crop it down a bit, worth a try.

Grew up around Bright, nice area for photographic opportunities (and fishing). I especially liked going up to Mt Buffalo, lots of nice things to capture.

Good luck with the D90, wish i had one.

Sorry to hi-jack your nice piccie......

But when i said that it turned the trees into a bit of a mess, i only meant the bushes to the left.

I cropped it a bit and came up with this result, still retains alot of the original but closes in on the interesting stuff.

Apologies for altering your image.

Steven.

not sure if I could do it myself but I wonder how it would look if you could put the new version of the bridge on a layer over the top of the original photo?

I had a play... not pretty and there has to be an easier way of doing it than what I did.

Hi all

Thanks for your comments guys. Perhaps I didn't really explain why I posted this. I was just taken with the colours, and the shading that came out with the curves and filters.

I see this sort of thing as having so much potential for artistic licence and printmaking, as well as material for my painting.

I had no intention of realism, rather looking at what sort of shades, shadows, highlights emerged with the filters and curves.

Printed on fine quality photo paper (Ilford Fine Art smooth) I think it is quite a lovely study in colour.

Cheers
