I used Adobe plug-in (Ripples) for this effect.

I used Picasa3 to get this Graduated Tint effect.

I used the selective color technique to enhance this photo that I took at my friend's wedding earlier this year. It's a simple, but dramatic effect.

Selective Colouring

Beginning with Kodak's easy share I used a spotlight effect and then converted to Photoshop intensified the colors and then added the Redfield fractilius filter.

I have discovered this wonderful HSL filter created by Ryan Taylor on Picnik. HSL stands for variations in Hue, Saturation, Lightness. For this shot I used HDR and then applied HSL to create this unusual otherworldly shot.

Bromoil is a photographic process from the 1920-30s used to emulate oil paintings. A conventional black and white image was produced on bromide paper. The print was then bleached/tanned, fixed and washed. While the gelatin layer was still damp, lithographic inks where stippled into the paper to bring back the image.

Lomo; film was often cross processed producing saturated and unusal colours. Vignetting, and soft focus was also sometimes an effect produced by the cheap lomo cameras.

Solarization is an image, usually black and white, where part of the image or all of it is reversed in tone. Dark areas appear light and light areas dark. This technique was perfected by Man Ray.

This beautiful bronze statue of a prairie pioneer woman by George Lundeen stands in front of an art gallery in Lincoln Nebraska. It was suggested by a webshots friend that I enter this photo in this creative challenge as well. original photo was in color, applied sepia instead. I used soften to blur the background of the cars and city, to enhance the feel of being OUT of the city and in the prairie, and to put the focus on the pioneer woman. Last I applied vignette dark brown frame around the edges.

HDR photograph and "dry brush" Because the photo was so busy with the detail, it had to be simplified so the main focus would be on the boat and reflection. By using the dry brush in photoshop it simplified the detail and less became more.

I have shot a lot of sunsets from my back porch, but this is my favorite. The original photos used were nothing to write home about. Just a sun going down. HDR is not normally used for a sunset. So, I decide to try HDR for a sunset to see the results. Normally you see the sunset with silhouettes for everything else. By shooting an overexposure and an under exposure, you can get details you would never see and an unusual effect. I would have never expected the results. Especially when you see the original three images used. I have a few more HDR sunsets in this album.

Lomo cameras are well known for their unique photos, usually with vignettes, contrasty and highly saturated colors. It gives the photo a distinctive look, which could be achieved with those type of cameras. Digitally created using cross processing or mismatching film and chemicals process to get color change and Vignette to get darkening and blur around photo caused by fixed cheap lens. I did clone out people that were a distraction. Sometimes I look at this and think it looks like a model car, but it is a full size car. Later in the album is the one with the people around it.

For this picture of a butterfly on a hibiscus I used a polar coordinates filter, and added a pinch filter as well. I love how it looks like the butterfly is in a crystal ball reaching for the leaf. The leaves in the background give it a sense of motion, too. At least that's what I see when I look at it. Hope you like it!

Midnight one more night without sleepin' - Watchin' till the morning comes creepin'. Green door what's that secret you're keepin'? There's an old piano and they play it hot behind the green door Don't know what they're doin' But they laugh a lot behind the green door. Wish they'd let me in So I could find out what's behind the green door. Knocked once tried to tell 'em I'd been there Door slammed hospitality's thin there. Wonder just what's goin' on in there. Saw an eyeball peepin' through a smokey cloud Behind the green door When I said Joe sent me Someone laughed out loud behind the green door. AII I want to do is join the happy crowd behind the green door. Midnight one more night without sleepin' - . . . Saw an eyeball peepin' through a smokey cloud . . . Wish they'd let me in So I could find out what's behind the green door.

An in-camera alternative technique. Bending the reflections of trees and autumn foliage on the dappled water surface of an old mill dam. The dappled surface is caused by the rough bluestone dam surface, the stream current, wind, and falling leaves. A tilt shift lens was utilized to obtain a sharp focus over the entire water surface which was not parallel to the camera's sensor plane.

The "Moon" or "Flying Saucer" on the horizon, was created in Adobe Photoshop Elements, by selecting the filter Render, clicking on Lighting Effects and making my own adjustments there to get the moon shape. To change into black and white was done by invert, different shades by changes in saturation and color variations. Sometimes I make changes playing with shadows and highlights which I also used in other shots of this album. (#3391-256k)
