Floral #106
Nikon D7000 18-200mm @ 200mm ISO 200 1/60 f/16 Lr4, TpzSim; PsCS6
These blossoms were part of a bed of flowers just off the dining patio of the P.F. Chang’s in Chino Hills, California. I was across the street when they caught my eye, and I moved across the street and captured a dozen frames or so of the flowers which were sprouting up in front of a low sand toned stucco wall, with a dark, shaded covered patio looming over the wall. I isolated the flowers and darkened the entire background using layers and masking in Photoshop. The Topaz Simplify “Harsh Color” filter was used to stylize the flowers.

Images From My Yard
Nikon D7000 18-135mm @ 135mm ISO 1600 1/50 f/16 Lr3; SnapArt3
Another image from my backyard exercise with an extreme painterly effect from the application of the Alien Skin Snap Art 3 filter set.
Floral Impression #4
Images From My Yard
Nikon D7000 17-135mm @ 135mm ISO 1600 1/640 f/16 Lr3, SnapArt3; PsCS5
This image is the first in a series of 15 floral images that were captured when I assigned myself a project to find images only in the backyard of my home. I captured this image with a regular zoom lens, not a macro lens, hand held. I achieved the impressionistic feeling for the image using an Alien Skin Snap Art 3 filter which applied an impasto like brushstroke, then using layer masking in Photoshop I applied a gaussian blur to the background elements.
This image reminds me of something you would find as the “face” of a greeting card, with of course a suitably sappy message imprinted on the inside.
