Thanks Andre. Yes, I was playing around in Photoshop on this one. I don't usually do much after the fact (aside from B+W conversions), but today I just felt like experimenting with layers. Nothing new or original, except perhaps adding the posterized layer. The process is described above.
Yes CorrieLynn this was done in Photoshop. One image, three layers: the base layer which was sharpened, the second layer was posterized 16 levels, the third had gausian blur applied. I think the opacity of two layers was 50%, bit I am not sure. I basically just played around until I got the look I wanted. At the end I flattened the layers, to reduce the size of the file. I don't usually do much work post-capture, but today I felt like experimenting. Hope this was of interest to you.
Hi Richard, There is an interesting soft look to the whole image that makes it look a little like a water-colour. Any special effects used? Nice job! Andre
This turned out really well, especially with the flowers. I also like the effect it has on the old chipping paint on the truck.
Im guessing you did this in photoshop? I know the old orton method is done with two negatives, one slightly blurry,and one sharp, and then sandwiched together. For this, did you take two images, and put them together? or did you take one, duplicate it, blur one and then put them together? Just curious, i like the effect!
