Wow lots of new ones!
Mike , I love the light in your three photo picture. The leave stands out and the background works well!
Jono, very nice and a really good lens that is. Smooth rendering. Another financial problem.
The first one is my favourite.
Keith, that is very refined indeed! Looks like Cy Twombly.
Klaus, also still no winter in the woods of Germany!
Here is one while waiting for a movie in the cinema.

Mike - your images make me think so much of the impressionists. If an impressionist had the cameras and software that we have, they would be turning out these images, and figuring out the ways that it could go forward. Where would it end? - in the literal image; I don't think so, it would lead to total abstraction.EP-1 lensbaby

Picasso had a camera, but it was not digital :toocool:

Hi Keith,
I love impressionists paintings, and I do wish sometimes that I was able to paint. Both my parents are painters, so I guess I have that background in me. I have always been trying to go beyond the reality of the camera and make images that are more like paintings. Digital sure makes it easier. I've been doing this style of work for about 15 years. With film, I would tape transparencies together and dupe them in the darkroom, it took forever to get it right. Now, I can make several variations quickly and without all the expense of film. It's a great time to be a photographer.

Re: Layered with Texture
Beautiful, as with all your work on this forum. I'd love to know how you "layer these with texture".
Hi Michael,
I copied the text (below) that I posted earlier regarding my method. But basically, I shoot textures all the time and combine textures to make new textures. Then I layer them in photoshop and with the layer properties, I set them to different types such as overlay or soft light. And with masks I can control wether or not the texture goes over the entire image. I also use the opacity slider on the texture layer to control the amount. Most of my images have multiple textures and many adjustment layers.
Mike
Are you familiar with a site named http://www.chromasia.com
He does tutorials that are a fair price, and he actually did 2 tutorials on my work with textures that goes in depth in to my work with my examples and how I did it. Here is a more direct link. http://www.chromasia.com/tutorials/online/wwt1_info.php
It is a two part tutorial using my work and his work. However, if you don't want to get involved with that, just keep playing with different images and try different blend modes on the texture and opacity changes as well as masks to alter part of the textures. I sometimes use multiple textures on top of each other at different strengths. It's not uncommon to end up with 10 or more layers and huge files.
The chromasia tutorial would be better than a book. I don't make any money from this by the way, so I'm not trying to push his tutorials. He does do a great job of teaching though.
Hope this helps
