I recently had the pleasure to take a photography course taught by Brian Goodman at the Northwind School of Art here in Port Townsend. Brian does a lot of wonderful documentary images of people and places, but he is also quite gifted at abstract images that use camera movement (both in camera and using Photoshop filters). These are two I took of a hillside right after the first class session. Out of the camera, the images were just faint blurs … but increasing color contrasts and texture settings in Lightroom created the feeling I was trying to achieve. (no use of Photoshop … strictly in camera movement and Lightroom exposure adjustments)
Wonderful!
These images are delightful. What a fun experiment, Allan.
Thanks, Sarah. Something a little different, for sure.
Thanks đź‘Ť
Wow – these are beautiful.
Thanks, Lynette
Wow Allan – these are fabulous!!
Thanks Lynne. I like them too. They’re fun.
ICM is always so surprising. I love the unknown when you click the shutter.
I love that you explain your technique; I have some experience handling cameras from film school but I’m not very good at it. Such a cool project!
kool. what was the still subject?
I also like most of the recent hiking shots you have posted in last month or two.
Thanks, Tom. The original image was just of a hillside at Fort Worden. Some dry grass, some trees, a few yellow leafs. It’s fun to break the rules once in a while.
