Well, it has been very dull and rainy around here lately and I haven't gotten any decent bird photos. The one above of the male Cardinal was so dark I lightened it up, but then it got very grainy. I decided to add even more grain for an 'artsy' look. I think I made it worse by trying but never mind.
Third and last try and I guess it is back to the drawing board.
I am sharing with the following memes as they become available, with thanks to Anni, and Stewart for hosting.
The artsy look all look lovely. Hope that you will be getting more sunny days ahead.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Denise!:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea, with excellent results. I really like them. They look like paintings, and you did a good job.:)
I love how you play with computer art. I'm still having fun with the Toon app you shared with us.

ReplyDeleteHello, it is fun to play around with the artsy edits. I love the cardinals. Happy Sunday, enjoy your day and the new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteDenise, at first I thought you were showing paintings.... how great it is that you can even get to grips with graining and such like. Well done, you.
ReplyDeleteSometimes nothing cooperates with the photographer. Yesterday I tried to identify a duck across the river. It was just out of range and I couldn't see it well enough.
ReplyDeleteAt last the sun is out today. I saw a Fox Sparrow last week, flying through on his way to Canada. Trying to learn my sparrows. Hard to do in the rain.
ReplyDeleteIt may be dull and rainy, Denise, but I do love your photos and I actually like rain photos, so it's all good. Hugs. :)
ReplyDeleteThe wings in flight photo is amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to experiment ...
ReplyDeleteI like the colour in your birds.
Hope you've had a good weekend
All the best Jan

ReplyDeletegood idea to improve grainy photos with more grainy look. :)

ReplyDeleteHi Denise, the Male Cardinal is a very colorful bird, its very difficult to get decent images in poor light. Regards John
ReplyDeleteThey look like paintings -- you did fine! I love playing with my pictures, and someday I am just going to sit and learn what each thing does. It is usually just hit and miss for me and I never remember what I did when one turns out well.
ReplyDeleteI'm having trouble focusing, this looks fun, though!
ReplyDeleteSo hard to get good images when it's raining. I do think your artsy look is fun!
