The attraction

Looking newly processed files, digging in already done stuff. That is how one can controll progress, styledevelopment or create even new ideas for new compositions. Like this one shown here. The flowers were newly done but to be fair , its a bit boring …. but combined with a former work it gives a total different approach. Suddenly there is massive attraction…

Olympus E-5 + E-M5 with different settings…

Nature is …

Nature is full of colors and surprise. Strolling thru the green grass thru the bushes and suddenly it is there: The surprise, a yellow rose in all its color, its beauty and its pride. No chance, i had to take a picture of such attractive beauty. At home i decided to combine the bare rose with a feather and some green background structure, giving a vintage look to the complete scene. And ready it is:

Again Olympus E-M5 !

Spooky

Today you see a total different thing. My spooky forest. See these dark big trees, with its cold fingers up into the sky. See the light breaking thru the branches. Would you like having a walk thru my spooky forest ??

I can promise, you will enjoy it. The spooky forest does not exist. Just in my and your imagination. In reality it is a wonderful bright tree. See here:

How i did it ?? Easy. Just one shot with my infamous E-P3 and the miraculous Zuiko 12mm. In PP i made tree new copies of the original layer and blended them together with blending mode Multiply. Opacities adjusted per layer. Thru individual masks i removed sharp edges. The last was converting it into b&w and a little curves and levels. Add a little grain to it. Thats all about it. 5 minutes works.

Please, come home…

Driving fast on highway, heading est. 235KM/h on the speedometer. Heavy lorries in front of me. And suddenly Mrs. Robinson in my head: “What if the lorry in front of you suddenly changes the lane without having the driver looked into the rear mirror ?? Will you enter heaven, will you enter hell ? Would you be a good looking angel with white wings ?”

With that in mind and her sweet smile right before my “third eye” i lowered the speed. I arrived, not too late, relaxed and happy. Thanx to my guarding angel… and made the vision visual ! Hope you enjoy. Make it too !

Extreme

Don´t be mainstream, go for the extreme….offer a special view, special scenes, looks or PP. Mainstream is everyone but not YOU.

Be special and your pictures will be a joy !

Put it together

Okay, so you have a flower-picture and a picture of an old rusty door ?? Both boring, dull, nothing special. Correct. But did you ever thought to put them together ??Yes, to blend them ??? All you need is a layer capable software, Photoshop, The Gimp etc. can do such job easily. Just load both pictures and copy one of them into the other as extra layer. The top layered picture will cover the other picture 100% so you have to do something ! Install a mask to the toplayer and paint with black color some “holes” into it, let the bottom layer shine thru. Change the opacity, the transparency of the toplayer to your taste and you will see how it works…

BTW: Such is a wonderful present, if printed on Fine Art paper and framed professional !

Hidden beauty

While looking through the garden and watching roses she asked to have a picture of her combined with the beauty of a red rose in form of a soft toned compostion. As i always tell you i have to do the same.: respect the wishes and try to realize them. It will give me the opportunity to shoot more attractive pictures with an impact, gives more material even for your eyes and gives her deep satisfication. So what ?? It is just a bit of work and here it is already:

The hidden beauty. A red rose, her beauty and both in combination with a blending technique to give it a special look. It was a “bulls eye” a direct hit! Her girlfriends got envious and that made her proud. Now it is printed and presented on her wall of fame :) I like such ideas :) It is good for my reputation and if YOU do it as well it will even work for your reputation ! So do it. Believe me, it is easy. But you have to do this on some fundamental rules and such derives from the emotional layer, from trust and relation.
