Following The Sun
Nikon D7000 18-135mm @ 135mm ISO 320 1/125 f/5.6 Lr3, TpzSim; PsCS5
One more painterly floral this week. These Daylilies were also adjacent to the tennis court and when the image was captured at 5:34 P.M. the stems were leaning towards the sun lowering in the southwest. Similar treatment as the others this week using Topaz Simplify in Photoshop. There were a lot of distracting elements in the background of this image so I burned in a much as I could in Lightroom, then in Photoshop I painted out the remaining distractions.
Yellow Daylily Trio
Nikon D7000 18-135mm @ 135mm ISO 320 1/125 f/5.6 Lr3, PsCS5, TpzSimp; PhFr4.6
Continuing my painterly experimentations these yellow Daylilies were growing adjacent to our neighborhood tennis courts and I captured them the same day as the Daylilies in my last blog post. This image was similar to last Monday’s, during post processing, I applied the Topaz Labs Simplify effect (via the Photoshop plug-in) to give the primary image some paint brush like feeling and then the texture in this image also came from my backyard, from a shot of our wood fence that has been aging in the elements for the past twenty years as a layer in Photoshop . I also added a framing effect using the OnOne Software PhotoFrame 4.6 Photoshop plug-in.
