Blends

This is called "Starry, Starry, Night"

Nice one Keith. The subject matter works really well with the negative look. That's a tuff one to pull off. I've been tempted to go more abstract on some of my shots as well.

cheers

Thanks Mike:

Blending seems to always take me to abstraction to one degree or another.

The thing is, you never know what to expect (especially in difference mode). I think you need a whole lot of experience and some trusted textures to say "this is what I want to do" and eventually get there.

“Moon Peeking Thru The Storm Clouds”
More storms again tonight. When the rain stopped, I went out on the deck and found more amazing clouds. So here is tonights entry.

Was a typo: " You could (re-)use the moon". Or was the moon in the original cloud shot?

Ah! The moon was in the sky at that spot, but I had to wait till the clouds cleared slightly. then I put the two images together. I hope it doesn't look fake. It is real, sort of!

Does not look fake (just when knowing your work a bit ).

I know what you mean. My wife always asks, "was that really there"?
Any way, I like it.

"A Walk In The Park"

This is a beautiful park below the Prague Castle. It’s not always open, but when it is, I always like to take a walk from one end to the other. The Castle is on top of the hill on the right.

Nice one Mike - works very well to convey the detailed structure of the foliage

"Dream Walking"
EP-1 with 40mm f 1.4 CV
I used the B&W art filter on the camera and then added a couple of background textures.

Cool shot Uwe. Is that some kind of agricultural field?

Yes, this is an aerial of green house covers (and it is a crop).
