Normally after shooting some images, I would come home and delete the ones I don't like right away. Lately I've been experimenting with the ones I would normally delete.
Just to clarify, none of these were done in-camera; they're total Photoshop manipulations.
For all three of them, I applied a 90degree vertical motion blur then played around with the colors, textures, and contrast. The exception was the sheep image - for this one, before applying motion blur, I applied a gaussian blur with a levels adjustment clipping mask to brighten and soften. Their faces were totally lost in all the effects; so I brought them slightly back into focus.
Hope all is well with everyone!
Those are great Ms. Wise.
And all this time I have been trying to "Get-it-Right" in-camera when I should have been learning PS as well.
I don't know painting, but I feel the Sheep photo has a very Impressionist feel about it.
"Hope all is well with everyone!"
Let's just say I earned the new nickname "Boom Boom" after my shirt fell down while I was wearing it.
Oh no! I'm sorry for your fall. Hope you didn't break anything? Also hope you're recovering well.
Sutures will be coming out tomorrow, brace on the finger has a few more weeks.
RF 100-500...well, lens hood is shot and three chips in the front element and the threads are messed up. I will he shipping it out to Canon for repair. Less expensive to repair it than getting a new one.
No, I don't have CarePak, because I am very careful with my gear and it never gets damaged. 🙄
Sorry to hear of injuries to both camera and body Dean, I hope both get well soon (which hurts more???).
I am confused, however, how a falling shirt can do so much damage........
If you are wearing it when it falls....
I'm not much into motion blur photos but you're middle one has very nice colors and color contrast. It has a nice eery, surrealistic feel about it.
Well done Jennifer. I have been a proponent of using motion blur in PS as a tool to help understand comparative camera movement on a scene.
I have a guide on my website showing this comparison if anyone is interested - I feel it is a good way to gain an understanding prior to trying ICM in the field;

There are many photographers who actually blend a blurred layer with the original image to great effect. Check out the work f Chris Fiel (or my blog entry here - https://www.alanbrownphotography.com/blog/influencers-chris-friel)
I do like the fact that you are thinking more of the end product (as witnessed in the restoration of detail in the sheep faces), that is a clear sign that you are progressing.
