At the Window

It is feeling so good to get back to doing a little still life photography! Now that the house is no longer torn up, I have some space and time to set up some stills.  I’ve been especially eager to try out a birthday present I got from my friend, Debbie- a vintage window! It’s been piled in the garage with everything else, but now I can get to it, along with some of my other still life props that were covered up.

I propped up the window on a table outside in the 95 degree heat and had a great time composing this image. I edited it using Kim Klassen’s darkday preset (desaturation, a matte tone curve, and split toning, among other adjustments).

As usual, I couldn’t leave well enough alone, so I took it into Photoshop and Topaz Impression for a painterly look.

Here’s another Topaz Impression version- a new one called Wispy Sketch. Love this!

It was too hot to create any more still life vignettes- but look for this window in the future! Thanks, Debbie!
