Wood & Metal, Sun & Rain, Sweat & Tears

· 2 Comments ·

The statue of the mouse (from The Gruffalo fame) is less than two years old. The wood has weathered well so far, as has the yellow coat of paint but a bit of photographic weathering deepens the cracks and fissures. Photoscape has an antique photo filter to round off the look.

This metal and wood sculpture of a warrior has been weathered by rain and wind and sun and given a dark vignette around the outside to complete the picture.

This sun, again enhanced with an antique photo filter from photoscape and artificial back lighting, looks a lot more weathered now.

Finally, a black panther made of metal and covered in rust, has been contrast heightened and backlit and scratched.

A Photo a Week: Weathered

1,2,3 – FIRE!

When I posted my tulip pictures for the One to Three Challenged, I had forgotten that I had been playing around with my little “minikens” and done a series with them. So here is a bonus 1-2-3.

The original – but for a bit of cropping

Monochrome and negative.

Explosion (fish eye) and implosion

And since we are looking at toys I thought a lego version might be fitting.

Star Magnolias

A white star magnolia. Untreated.

Monochrome – one in black and white, one in sepia.

Then I went to LunaPic and went a bit crazy putting the picture through every art filter they have.

These are the best ones to my mind:

The Filters are called Sadness, Floating, and Escher.

Magies Are Posterboy Pretty

Magpies don’t have the best of reputations but their black and white coat with its stark contrast is just too beautiful.

The black and white is calling for a monochrome treatment. In the second adaptation I played around with the white balance. I like to do that sometimes because it can yield interesting effects. And then I just went colour crazy.
