This
morning, while walking around taking images of some wildflowers here in
Valleyford, WA (near Spokane), there were some images that just seemed prime
for playing with them and some special effects.
Take a look –
This bloom
is actually purple, but when I played with it, the colors turned out to be so
crazy and neon like, I just loved it.
Such a happy, happy image!
I loved the
image of the Queen Anne’s Lace with the shed in the background. I cut out most of the background and made it
blurry. I then applied a painterly
effect that seemed to make the flowers look special……and I’ve always thought
they were – maybe it’s about the name!
When I
looked up from photographing the flowers, I noticed this scene of the countryside. I just thought it would make a very cool
painting. Well, I don’t know how to
paint, but I can apply a painting effect to my images! There’s something so peaceful about this – I
really like it.
This last
image really evoked the farm type countryside around. The tall grasses in the foreground were the
focal point, with the barn in the background. I decided to go with a crayon type effect
because it just seemed to match the casual feel of the image.
Enjoy!
