February Photo Comp: "But is it Art??" VOTE OFF!

[keith_d]

We've had a bit of discussion recently about manipulated images. So now let's see what the .org can do.

Submit one heavily manipulated image. That's joiners, photo stackers, montages, texturing, toning, posterisation and HDR. Not necessarily all at the same time.

At the tame end of things I'm anticipating panoramas like this:

But out in the wilder regions of artyness I'm hoping we'll see something more radical than my HDR waterfall:

In short, anything goes providing you started with only photos and the results are awesome.

This is a little thing I used to do years ago. Take an ordinary picture of a car & modify the life out of it in Photoshop. The original image is top left. Most of the bodywork mods were drawn in PS by me, other bits were stolen off the net & scaled down, or up :)

Bit of colour popping courtesy of a free iphone app. Not particularly technical but manipulated non the less so I thought I'd post it up :)

I did the back, my housemate did the front (of my girlfriend).

Long exposure and running around giggling like idiots was what we did to the photograph.

Weather is lousy right now but I remembered I had a panorama maker in the software that came with my Canon so took a few overlapping snaps this morning while out walking the mutt. Tweaked the contract and brightness to help it along.

View from the top of my road, looking out over the Hughendon Valley to the north of High Wycombe. Shame I could not get any higher to lose the fence but I really did not feel like walking back up the hill with my tall steps to try again as I was already rather cold!!
