DARK REFLECTIONS; & TERABYTE CLOUD

"Dark Reflections" (4-29-12 11812ev5) above, and "Terabyte Cloud" (4-29-12 11812ev17) below, are versions from the same old photo. One of that batch I worked on and posted from late yesterday afternoon, though from a different original photo. Nothing much to say about these, except that "Terabyte Cloud" below was filtered many different times in Photoshop to get as much complexity as I could without it going totally wonky on me.

MORNING SUN; & TWILIGHT SKY

Finally, some pix I feel good about posting. I did actually post yesterday but I wasn't happy with the pix (nor with anything else I'd looked at or fussed over earlier). So I deleted the complete post once it had been up a couple hours. Then later in the afternoon I found myself deeply absorbed in making new versions of old pix that I actually liked. Two of which are here. Above is "Morning Sun" (4-29-12 11810v2). And below is "Twilight Sky" (4-29-12 11810v3):

DANCE OF THE DRYADS; & THE ROSE REMEMBERS

"Dance of the Dryads" (6-24-14 001v5) above, is a new pic and one of several versions (of course :-D). It's been heavily Photoshopped, by which I mean that I applied many filters. I then fudged with the colors in MS Picture Manager. I've done some reading and a little experimenting on fooling with colors in Photoshop but still find MS Picture Manager more to my liking. Mostly I think because there are so many color options in Photoshop I wind up not wanting to deal with them. Maybe I'll feel more adventurous and patient when I start getting bored with what I can do in MS Picture Manager's color options.

And here below is another take off from the same original pic, "The Rose Remembers" (6-24-14 001v4):

UP PERISCOPE; & READY FOR MORNING

Both pix here today are a year old (ever so slightly tweaked this morning). I took many pix of the two scaffolds we had on our grounds at the time. The one in these two pix was for water line repair work, I believe. The above is "Up Periscope" (6-22-13 017v4) and the one below is "Ready for Morning" (6-22-13 017v4):

Although I did fool around with the colors in both of these, the colors and "feel" of that view really were quite different at different times of the day. And that's what I tried to emphasize with the color fussing I did on each.

BTW, I have mixed feelings about that slanting overhang in the upper right of "Ready for Morning." But have decided just to leave it be as on viewing the photo in various sizes it has a different impact in each. Sigh, as I'm seeing more and more, not only scale effects a photo's visual balance. But what sort of background it's presented on (color or black, say, or solid or patterned), along with the light in which it's viewed. Not to mention that issue I keep having with some photo colors being rather different when viewed here in blogger, from any other program I look at them in. Or (this list is endless) how photo paper copies differ from screen views, and even where I get the prints from (my printer or online). Guess I'm spoiled by the WYSIWYG of posting and printing my poems. But once in a while this photo game of chance is actually welcome as it shows up a flaw, or highlights something positive. I also have to admit if I were more tech minded I might be able to adjust things such as how colors appear on my screen. But I'd rather just hold my breath and hope for the best. Nothing's perfect. And most certainly not my pix, whether accurately presented online, on screen, or in print, or not.

STUDY FOR GREEN & AQUA

"Study for Green & Aqua" (4-4-13 12418v7) is a very old pic for which I recently made several different versions. Why green and aqua for this one? Dunnoh, it just looks best to me in these colors. I think it has to do with the contrast of green/aqua with the black background. Guess that's as good an explanation as any for why I much prefer this version to the others.

COLORS OF NIGHT

"Colors of Night" (3-21-10 10044v4) is from an over 4 year old photo that I've always liked but never been able to crop right. Yet I just couldn't delete it. I really like this new version I came up with yesterday. Yes, it's obvious I've used the glowing lines filter. But there's much more I did to balance this pic out visually. Especially to get all those little details to show without making the pic too messy. BTW, it's from the same source pic as the two "abstract" pix I posted here yesterday. (Albeit those two are extensively cropped.)
