Photo Editing: Organized Noise
Paula at Lost in Translation invited Tobias M. Schiel to host her Thursday’s Special challenge, the theme being organized noise. Please read his interesting and thought provoking post. I really like the term ‘organized noise’; it has such possibilities. What rang true for me was Tobias’ comment – ” . . . there is also the aspect of organizing noise into music – or visual ‘noise’ into pictures. Some … Continue reading Photo Editing: Organized Noise
Frog Hollow
When my husband first mentioned Frog Hollow I thought it was his own name for a local spot, but, no. It’s right there on the road sign: Frog Hollow. Since I moved here, Frog Hollow and I have become acquainted – it’s about 3 kms down the road. I have photographed it in winter and the floods of spring, with the butterflies of summer and the … Continue reading Frog Hollow

One Four Challenge March Week 4
One Four Challenge Week 4 This is my photo for this month. Using Sagelight, I’m going to try to have this image tell a different story each week. For this week’s image, I aged the photo, used the posterize feature and applied a filter. Although this image is dark I don’t find it threatening as in week 1, probably because of the warm overtone to it. And … Continue reading One Four Challenge March Week 4
One Four Challenge March Week 3
This is my photo for this month. Using Sagelight, I’m going to try to have this image tell a different story each week. Week 2 I tried for a nostalgic feel, lost in personal reverie where the rest of the world fades into muffled silence … This week with only one modification it speaks to me of a different story. Of having traveled a difficult time, perhaps … Continue reading One Four Challenge March Week 3
One Four Challenge March Week 2
This is my photo for this month. Using Sagelight, I’m going to try to have this image tell a different story each week. Using the same crop as last week, I softened the architecture of the colonnade, used dodge and burn to remove the man at the end of the arches and adjusted the tones using Sagelights tone blender. For me this image brings to … Continue reading One Four Challenge March Week 2
One Four Challenge March Week 1
This is my photo for this month. Using Sagelight, I’m going to try to have this image tell a different story each week. First up, I cropped the image. I added soft focus and a vignette and played with the threshold. Then I inverted the area at the end of the archway which makes it appear as if it’s night with a person caught in the … Continue reading One Four Challenge March Week 1
Photo Editing: Artistically speaking
I wanted to see if I could make this into an image with a more artistic feel to it; to see what I could accomplish without using one of the one-click apps that convert photos to oils or watercolour.So I brought up the details and liked what was happening in the sky and the branches of the tree. I adjusted the colour in the sky I added … Continue reading Photo Editing: Artistically speaking
One Four Challenge Feb Week 4
This is the photo I am going to use this month. Each week I’m going to begin with some sort of distortion of this photo and see if I can produce an interesting and pleasing artistic image. For week 4 I again began with a polar coordinates distortion which I compounded by repeating it several times until something I liked emerged. I quite liked this but continued … Continue reading One Four Challenge Feb Week 4
One Four Challenge Feb Week 3
This is the photo I am going to use this month. Each week I’m going to begin with some sort of distortion of this photo and see if I can produce an interesting and pleasing artistic image. For week three I began in Sagelight with a plug-in to smooth the image and then applied a median filter. In PS Elements 8 I distorted it using polar … Continue reading One Four Challenge Feb Week 3

One Four Challenge Feb Week 2
This is the photo I am going to use this month. Each week I’m going to begin with some sort of distortion of this photo and see if I can produce an interesting and pleasing artistic image. For week 2 I began with a polar distortion again, which I compounded by doing it twice. I rotated it 90 degrees and cropped it and did a zoom … Continue reading One Four Challenge Feb Week 2

This is the photo I am going to use this month. Each week I’m going to begin with some sort of distortion of this photo and see if I can produce an interesting and pleasing artistic image. Here is week one. I began with a polar coordinates distortion I liked the stark split of dark and light and decided to work with that. I cropped … Continue reading One Four Challenge Feb Week 1
