Above is just another photo with a dreamy or painted look. The original was not special and I didn’t know what to do with it at first but then thought I could do some extreme things with it. As I mentioned often, I sometimes like to edit photos on a way that they look like screenshots from 2d adventure games or pictures from a painted storybook. I have done these extreme edits a few times already. Continue reading Surreal Forest Image
I found a photo of a forest in my folders and didn’t like it. It was basically one of those throwaway images but some of you know that I like to experiment with bad images and that I also have … Continue reading Surreal Forest Picture
The image above was edited to the point that it doesn’t have a lot in common anymore with the original. When I saw the image in my library, I was pretty unhappy and almost wanted to delete it because the colors were dull. As I often preach on my blog, I like to find out what I can do with images that are not of best quality. This can be about all kind of problems, like overblown highlights, dull colors, bad cropping and what not. If you have nothing to lose, you can try all kind of tricks and effects … Continue reading Kitty Villain
Like I mentioned previously, I sometimes like to experiment with unnatural looks when I edit photos. By that I mean giving photos a look as if they were painted. It does especially work well with photos that have been shot inside rooms. Above is a photo that I shot in a room inside the St. Mary’s Church in Lübeck. The original photo was ok but I edited it heavily and I absolutely love the result. Continue reading Beautiful Room
I mentioned this several times that I like artificial pictures as well. What I mean by this is that I sometimes like to give a picture a painted type of vibe, or I sometimes also refer to it as images that look like they were made for adventure video games. Ironically, to get there you don’t have to increase the quality, in a way you actually have to degrade the quality of the image. It’s just a matter of how you want to go, sometimes it’s really cool to completely go DOS (referring to the old DOS games type of … Continue reading Artificial Scene
Above you can see a photo that I shot with my smartphone a long time ago. I made some adjustment and like the artificial or painted look. The photo was taken in Salem near Ratzeburg, a very beautiful place here in Northern Germany as you can see here. Back then when I was younger, I was every weekend there and whenever I had school vacation, because my grandma and grandpa do camp there since a long time. It was my happy-place because life in a district of a city appeared more loud and more stressful even as a kid. But … Continue reading Salem Photo
