Painting the Wind
This images builds on the "Catching the WInd" image shown above in the Out of the Box, In-Camera Technique section. After capturing the wind by slowing down the shutter speed to 1/4 sec by stopping down to f/32, reducing ISO to 100 and overexposing by 2/3 stop, I attempted to add to the abstraction by using the horizontal brush stroke feature in PhotoShop. Nothing too sophisticated but here it is.
Hi Ed If you are going for an effect make it a little more pronounced.
Went to the filters and selected the artistic filters>water color Then adjusted the the edge effect Also reduced the yellow saturation and increased the green saturation. Last reduced opacity just a tad !!!
Glad you are experimenting with in camera effects Once you get a feel there are lots of things you can do ... and they are predictable !!!
Thanks Al. I like it. I tried some of the artistic filters but felt a little uncomfortable (which should be a good thing, I guess) getting too far away from the original image. But today, what you did here looks really good to me. Cool.
I will keep experimenting - in camera an in PP.
Again thanks.
Ed, I like Al's repost. Softer subject/softer treatment. I think it looks pretty cool. It is pretty strange, we spend so much time trying to make photos that represent what we see and all of a sudden we are trying to make them look like something else.
