Artificial Scene

November 27, 2018September 29, 2019 Dennis

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

Editing Broken Images

December 7, 2017September 29, 2019 Dennis

I do sometimes like to take a closer look at the bad photos I shot. There are photos that I delete right away but sometimes it makes sense not to do that, because you’d be surprised what you can still … Continue reading Editing Broken Images

Model Ship

December 7, 2017September 29, 2019 Dennis

Above you can see a photo that I took a long time ago when I was bored. I shot the photo at a time when I didn’t own a DSLR camera. I think it was shot with a cheap camera or with the phone. Back then I tried to experiment in photography too, just with different gear. So, in this case I just placed a model ship in front of a white tiled wall. But as today I often liked the modify the images afterwards, to find out how certain effects would change the image. I have no clue what … Continue reading Model Ship

Salem Photo

December 3, 2017September 29, 2019 Dennis

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

Bi-Colored Edit

November 14, 2017September 29, 2019 Dennis

Above you can see a photo that I shot somewhere at the Wakenitz river in Lübeck. The original image was fine but not too interesting, and when that is the case I often try to experiment with images. I did try different things in Lightroom with the Color Efex Pro 4 plugin that you can get as a free download with the Google Nik Collection. I found a filter called “bi-colored user-defined”. It’s some kind of a graduated filter, you can choose a color for the top of the image and a color for the bottom. I used green at … Continue reading Bi-Colored Edit

Cut Out Filter Again

January 2, 2017September 29, 2019 Dennis

Above you can see a photo manipulation again. It’s basically a photo of Reinfeld again, but as in the other picture that I showed you, I added mountains in the background again. The difference is however that I applied a much heavier cut out filter this time. That makes the image look like a digital painting I guess, or like a screenshot of a computer game from the old days. I like that style, because many computer games looked like that back in the days, and I find the style beautiful. It actually reminds me of some of the games … Continue reading Cut Out Filter Again
