greg was driving and these two photographs were taken as we approached the harbour bridge tunnel which goes underneath sydney harbour ..
these are the original photographs - same camera settings .. traffic was moving and it was getting dark ..
processing steps ..
skewed and warped background layer of cars and view of north sydney .
brought in img_6155 of blurred lights and skewed and distorted that/screen blending mode
deleted, using mask, some of blurred lights layer so i could see the signs better ..
flattened ..
used nik software silver efex pro/antique solarization twice for different effects/hard light blending mode ..
nik software/glamour glow/multiply blending mode
nik software/cross process ..
levels adjustment layer ..
gotta love nik .. !!!
Very cool processing.. i love how you combined the blured lights with the more conventional still image.. inspiring.. I will have to try something like this..
Love this, Roz. It really conveys the feel of frenetic city traffic.
Sympathy for Greg and yourself at this sad and difficult time. I know what it's like and my heart goes out to you both.
This came out really well, Roz - I love the way you "see" the possibilities in what to many would be shots they'd delete off the card with no further consideration. Please pass my sympathies to Greg (and to you) in this very difficult time.
I like the PP of this image, you sure have a wide variety of skills. This is unique in that the acquired effect takes it out of the realm of photography. This mimics an artistic effect I've seen called Gouache which is an opaque watercolor but it also exhibits the properties of a charcoal/ink sketch. The tilt works very well for this.
The combination of these two images works wonderfully, roz! Your processing is killer as always; I could not longer live without Nik color efex and silver efex :-) This filter works so well here, really gives this a frenzied graphic look that is very unique. Hugs to Greg, I'll be happy to see him here in this sc soon!
Awesome Roz, and in a very difficult time for yourself and Greg. I haven't tried Nik Software, obviously you like it....! It available on teh Mac platform? I'll go and do a bit of research. Great work, and keep the spirits up.....
