Fern

For this image I used the original seen below. I worked in PS CS5. I´m finally coming to grip with this software :) I used the filter PHOTO COPY on the original and that made it monochrome with a cut out touch. Seemed nice but a bit boring. So I created a light effect. This is "Soft OMNI". 

Fern on a small "shelf" in the rock. It was the blue paint that draw my eyes.

Kreaturstorg / Cattle Square by artist Monica Goras,  SOOC image

For the black and white I converted the image in ACR and then applied filter glowing edges to the image.

The Optional theme for next weeks DAM is: BOKEH. And for those who don´t know what BOKEH is, it is the unfokused part of an image that can be seen in my images on my photoblog. HERE BOKEH is great to use as texture if you like to do texture work.

Images used for "Ninja fight with variations"

For the set of images shared on NatureFootstep Photos, I used two softwares. CS5 and FotoSketcher and the three images shown above.   And my grandchildren acting. 

One of the final images using the above images.See NF Bild2
It is impossible to describe what I did and how as there were so many steps back and forth.

NF Digital Art Meme, DAM 126 Optional theme - Woman

NF Digital Art Meme, DAM 126

NF Digital Art Meme, a meme for digital artwork. photo art and creative work.
NF Abstract is now included in NF Digital Art Meme.

The meme will allow any kind of digital art. You can post anything from photo art, straight from the camera, to complicated texture work. You can take a shot of your pottery and make it digital. As long as you are the artist. I hope to see some of the black and white artists I often see on Weekend in Black and White. You create good arts in your camera.

A piece of art is best enjoyed when it stands alone.
It is not necessary to give all details of your work unless you want it. An artist must have some secrets and, well, how we did it is most of the times impossible to describe anyway.  And we work with different software. I will mostly give details in a separate post.

Please visit my entry and as many other participants you can. I´d like this to be a living meme not just another linky list. So far it is a small meme, surely you have the time to comment on others. Thank you for participating. As you know I´m a busy woman but I always return a comment. :)

In order to create this one I first transformed the image to black and white. Then I used the filter "note  paper" then added grain and finally speckle.

Brännmossa i camera Raw - Fire moss in Camera Raw

Större bild? Klicka på den! - Click to enlarge!

    NF Photo 121028 original
    Arc Soft Photo studio

The shot opened in CS5 camera Raw. I had read in a book that there is a way to sharpen only certain parts of the shot so I wanted to explore that. I choosed the third button named Detail in the row. The function there is to mask all soft parts of the photo leaving edges to be sharpened. If you press the ALT button on your keyboard the window becomes BW and lets you see what is going to be sharpened. Well. I kind of liked the bw image shown. And that is where I got in trouble.

While pressing the ALT button and simutainiously pushing the 4th handle "Masking" the bw image shows you the amount of sharpening. I liked it but as soon as I took my finger off the ALT butten or the Masking handle the bw dissappeared. To solve that problem I had to use my left hand to press ALT and to move the Masking handle. And with the right hand try to take a shot with my powershot camera. PUH! Not easy as the mouse slipped away all the time or I droped the handle. But I got one shot that was good enough to be able to fix. :)

Well, I liked what that thing did so I probably use it again. :)

Done!

After using the quick selection tool in CS5 to erase the background I accidently hit the Fill tool and it was set to "Content aware". Gave me this shot that I liked. It filled the empty space of the shot with it´s own copies. I liked it.

Edit / Fill / Content aware then converted to BW for Weekend in Black and white.
