Painting a Tree
Played a bit with Photoshop and i must say i’m very happy with the result 🙂
Wish you all a lovely weekend!
Horrific Fun
Today i’d like to share a bit more about this image. But not to spoil the fun about the making off, you’ll have to click ‘continue reading’. So perhaps first look for a while and then read on if you’re interested
I see a color and i want to paint it red
Had a bit of photoshop fun this afternoon while editing some of the shots i took yesterday of the skyline of my hometown. At first i was trying to make the sky a little less blue but after a while i found myself playing around with the trees and the grass. Used Nik Color Efex Pro to create this. It really is a lovely program and it’s freely available!
Wish you all a lovely weekend
Gravitational Field
Playing with the red desert sand of Australia, it had a will of its own. Guess it was the gravitation pulling me in during the editing 🙂
Moving Sunset
I was in the mood today for some editing. This image is totally different from the original. In the front were some trees standing and on the right there was a bit of reflection from the window of the train i was traveling in while making this image. So i played with the image, added blur and changed quite a few settings before i realized the original image was almost gone. Only in the middle there still remains a part of the original image. As the train was moving, the trees began to blur. This was the part which helped me to start this small project. Very abstract and dark, but i think it looks pretty cool 🙂
Amsterdam Central
Played a bit with an old image. Inspired by many photographers i see on a Dutch photo website, i tried to create a special industrial look. The sky was a bit of a nightmare with all the overexposed spots, so instead i just removed the sky and replaced it by a grey color and added a bit of noise. Very much fun to do cause it’s so different compared to how i would normally edit an image.
The Eye
For the best view, see it large!
This image is the result of playing around with a photograph of a rainbow. At times i have a creative mood in which i start with an image and use the photo software to create something entirely different, most of the time fictitious and abstract. But it also resembles something of me and the creative process.
Now that i wrote that last sentence, i realize this also goes for this image. Life can be bright and colorful, if i am able to look and see it with my own eyes. If i block the view, life turns dark. But as the eye shows, its always up to me to take a look. Life is there, i just have to open my eye to experience it.
And to go one step further, i like to see the world not as different from me, but as one interdependent whole in which everything is interconnected. Nothing exists by itself, and yet nothing is entirely separate. All is contained within the whole.
All is well, even if nothing is well. And so i embrace the darkness and see it as the light of my own being…
