Re: Creative Interpretations - Rainy Day Windows

Going for a primative look (well, it became primative after a lot of filter convolving; lol).

Re: Creative Interpretations - Rainy Day Windows

Man! I keep telling you SL, your stuff is too good to mess with.

Anxious to know if you tweaked the window to get the very even looking out-of-focus window panes. Looks too even to be just a long lens and large F-stop.

Sweetlight, a truly outstanding pix. I tried a watercolor experiment using photoshop with PaintEngine.

Re: Creative Interpretations - Rainy Day Windows

These all look great and it's too cool watching everyone tweak my images.
Steve, all I did was dust the window. I'll have to go into my original IPTC info and make sure but I can almost promise it was my 400mm at about 5.6. It was gray and rainy out. Trees outside window in the distance.

Here is the link to the set of that day.

Yeah a 400mm lens at 5.6 would do it! Not usually so evenly tho.

This series of shots certainly shows the feeling you have for that area.

Re: Creative Interpretations - Rainy Day Windows

Again may I say, I love this photo Sweetlight! You are very talented.
Everyone's images are wonderful, but Alcar I think your's is my favorite.

Thought I'd go for a sketch.

Re: Creative Interpretations - Rainy Day Windows

Every time I try something new on this image it seems to work. Being a great shot to begin with gives me a lot of help.

So here's another interpretation.

Re: Creative Interpretations - Rainy Day Windows

Yall are tearin' this one up, I love them all. If there are more in the set that you want to work tell me and I'll drop them. Actually any of the shots on my Flickr just tell me and I'll do it. I just don't wanna flood you with images and make it seem as if I am being piggish.

Re: Creative Interpretations - Rainy Day Windows

Wonderful pic, SL. As Steve said messing with it seems like a shame, BUT...

I couldn't resist a couple tries with the Impressionist plugin. Messing with "tile" effects.

Alcar: Your PE experiments are jaw dropping. Really.
