Playing with my newly acquired smart(ish) phone, only bought because most of our contacts use them and it costs a bomb to phone them from a landline, I found that I had taken a rather depressing-looking selfie. As a matter of course Photoshop was employed to make a miserable looking snap a bit more arty x 3 (Well actually quite a few more, but I won't bore you with any more.)
Cardoons purple & green - Peckham Rye Park - 27.8.…
two Brighton subjects worked into one image
The gulls were taken looking down from the Grand Pier. I can't remember what effects went into this. Posterisation and a goodly dose of saturation would be my guess.
One of three photos taken at Bishopstone pond - not staggering images, but a good basis for larking about in Photoshop Elements. This was the original for this image www.ipernity.com/doc/philsutters/26316191
*Other photo manipulation software packages can produce this effect!
Sometimes just pushing the saturation slider way over to the right is all that's needed!
The London Millenium Dome, now an O2 arena, is in the background and the ship on the right is the Lord Amory, centre for the Sea Scout movement. The three cranes are mementos of the former life of the London Docks and are no longer functional.
Another snap from the archives, found while looking for something else! No it isn't a negative, it's me trying to be arty again!
Two photos of tall bare trees - one just recoloured and the other more seriously messed about with in Photoshop Elements - superimposed on one another.
All in all a worthwhile experiment.
This one is made from two different scenes. The first is one of trees and bushes hanging over a small pond at Bishopstone. The original is at www.ipernity.com/doc/philsutters/31843175 The second was of this evening's sunset. Various bits of selective recolouring have been done.
I do know the starting point of this one. It was a close-up version of this photo www.ipernity.com/doc/philsutters/47032760 . although it has been messed about with,you can see the ship's superstructure at the top left.
The colours were initially 'inverted' in Photoshop and then the 'saturation' slider was pushed almost to the end, which was when the background colours really showed up.
