Blue Spring
A week or so ago when I was taking reflection photos, I used my iPhone to create a series of flower images using multiple exposures.
Here is one of my favorites.
The Flow
We took a drive yesterday in the beautiful weather, heading over to Cornville to visit the fish hatchery. The water flowing out of the tanks and through the grate caught my eye.
Lost
A little multiple exposure abstract for a change of pace. . .
Taken at a hotel in San Francisco
Unfocused
Deliberately unfocused.
Yes, I do love blur!
I think this was a boat.
Let’s just say it’s an abstract. . .
Backlit Black and White
I was sitting at my computer one morning last week when I noticed the play of light and shadows on leaves in the front yard. I took a break from my work and captured this multiple exposure, which I thought looked even more interesting in black and white.
Summer Hummer
I’m in the mood for summer! A little play with Photoshop and Topaz Studio gave this little hummingbird an abstract summer look.
Sand Abstract
Tire tracks in the sand make an interesting abstract-especially when edited with a couple of wild and crazy treatments in Topaz Glow.
Morning Abstract 2
Same subject as yesterday, different photo (multiple exposure), WAY different edit.
I enjoy naming my work now (used to hate that). This one is called Something’s Coming.
Morning Abstract
The January theme for our photo club is ABSTRACT- which I always love doing. I was uninspired until I walked into my bedroom and noticed the shape of the plant ledge against the sloping ceiling. I did several multiple exposures which I layered to create what this piece. I’m not sure if this is the one I’ll use, but I had fun creating it.
Waiting for the White
We haven’t had snow yet this winter- or rain either. Just putting this little winter wish out there for a day or two of snow this winter . . .
Playing with Fingerpaint
I like to play with my camera- especially when I am a passenger in a car on a road trip. Besides taking standard photos through the window, I sometimes like to try to get some intentional camera movement shots, letting the car provide most of the movement.
The image below is of wild flowers with a forest background taken from the car when we were in Alaska. I kept coming back to the original shot because I liked the colors, and today I decided to play with it. I worked with it using TK actions to separate the tones a bit, added a gradient map with similar colors to the original and a gradient fill. It still needed something, so I took it into Topaz Impression with the thought of using a Monet filter. But I ended up liking what happened when I applied a fingerpaint filter- yes, I have spent my life working with young children! I experimented with blend modes and ended up with this:
I don’t think I’ll be framing this- but it was so much fun to work on.
Here is the original:
