I did not make any major changes to this image of my car. I boosted the colors obviously. Then applied the filter "Angled strokes" to give a different feeling to the sky. Ended with texture Canvas.

I have some very mixed feelings about the situation in Europe nowadays. I think I am mentally preparing for the war that seem to be unavoidable. It is likely that I will be safe where I live but still, the news and the refugees arriving affects me. I already noticed that there are areas my mind will not go. And that changes what i usually create. In a way it will be interesting to see where it leads me. But I will refuse to create the kind of madness of war that many artists do and that seem to be very popular among art knowing people. Disaster and suffering....that is ART.  Or the opposite, angels and spirits and fantasy. But that is not that popular. And that is not me. I think!
Well, I guess some artists will have a great time being inspired by the war, during the years to come. That will prevent me from visiting exhibitions.

Sorry, I just had to let it out"

Well, hope you like my car.  Now let me see what you come up with. Myself I'm on my way to the optician to check my eyesight

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.

Tjocka vattendroppar - Thick waterdrops

Man kan få tjockflytande vattendroppar genom att lägga i salt i vattnet. Saltvattner kan tex användas för tårar.

You can get thick flowing waterdrops by putting salt in the water. Saltwater can be used to create tears.

Grekisk staty med ljusspår - Greek statue with light trails

Min - my "studio"

Eftersom jag inte hade någon levande modell, utan tog en staty från Grekland, så gjorde jag min studio under databordet. Där gick det att få relativt mörkt. Jag fick ta vad jag hade för att få staty och kamera på rätt höjd gentemot varandra. Belysningen jag använde var min lilla cykellampa. Den vita som ligger på CD-fodralet. Statyn är belyst enbart med den. När jag trodde statyn var klar gjorde jag några svep med lampan för att få spåren. Gick åt lite övning men med digitala kameror gör det ju inget.

As I did not have a live model I took my little statue from Greese. It is small so I made my "studio" under my computer table where I could get it rather dark. I took what I could to get the statue and the camera positioned correctly. As a flashlight I used my little bike lamp. The white one that is on teh CD cover. he statue is lit only with that one and when I thought the statue was done I made some movements with the lamp to get the trails. It took some practice. But we got digitals so that does not matter. :)

Här är mina data men man får prova sig fram. - Here is my data but you have to figure out yours.
ISO = 800
AV  = 16 (Bländaren)
TV  = ca 30s (men stängde av kameran när det var färdigbelyst, det fungerar också. - but closed the camera when I was done.  That worked to)
