Impressionist Photography

I have now finished a Four-Week on-line photographic course on Creative Photography, and thoroughly  enjoyed it. It was run by Doug Chinery and Velda Bailey. I have leant lots and want to learn more. We had various exercises to do each week. Here are just a few examples of images I have been very pleased with. Some are more abstract than others. The course was aimed at taking photography in a creative / abstract direction.

Variations on a Theme

Last Monday started an on-lin training course with Velda Bailey and Doug Chinery. I have been inspired by their creative photography for about three years. With the Coronavirus  Lockdown affecting the world they, like many companies, have looked to training online through a 'Zoom' connection. These images  have been taken this week and have been inspired by the first sessions (a Group Session and a 121 with Velda). Our assignments this week was to explore the various blend modes on the camera (Canon EOS R in my case) and look at the effects of changes from black to white. This was an extremely good exercise. I then went on following my 121 to explore the subject. Here is the result of my wonderings

It's been good fun. Lots to learn.

Around the House Abstracts

Actually these where not around the house, all of them except from the last two where from the bedroom. Early morning the other day, Sue had brought  me a cup of tea in bed while she went shopping. I was laying there with my camera, as you do, fiddling with in camera multiple exposures. The light was quite beautiful.

The first images are straight from the camera and adjustments in Lightroom.

The next four were from a bit of work in photoshop blending two images together and sorting out unwanted highlights. The last but one is an in-camera  multiple exposure combined with intentional camera movement (ICM). The last one is a photoshop twirl.

The next image is as from the in-camera multiple exposure but with an annoying highlight removed in photoshop, I left the second highlight on purpose.

 The Next three where all a combination of two in-camera multiple exposures taken into photoshop and 'played with'

This next one was not in the bedroom. Its a in-camera multiple exposure combined with Intentional camera movement.

This last image is a photoshop twirl with the two twirls created blended together.
