I’ve always admired your ability to find visual interest (and even beauty) in 
your industrial scenes.

2022-04-27 Thread Igor PDML-StR



Thank you Dan and Rick!

Rick, that's the type of the effect I was pursuing.
It took some digital "burning" in LR, and edge sharpening that
mentioned in my comment on your image, - to strengthen that effect.

It also took several shots - (7 with this branch and 25 with this 
tree) from which I was selecting.
(A couple of those were featured in the "artifact" message that 
I've sent about two weeks ago.)

 Go on, Frank! It's one small step for a man...

It seems to me that Marnie may be confusing media with product - or at
least she's confusing ~me~.  Photography, paint, charcoal and stencils
are merely media that may or may not produce art.  Taking photography
and doing something with it that makes it look like another media
doesn't make the original photograph any less art.  Nor does
effecting those changes necessarily make the new thing more arty
than the original.  Different, yes.  More arty?  Not necessarily.

OTOH, since the faux change in media is certainly part of Marnie's
expression, the change is art, so perhaps her term to artify is
okay.  I guess what bothers me is the implication that the original
product is not art, or that it's less art than the finished product.

Or maybe I'm just being too picky.

That's all.

cheers,
frank

It seems to me that Marnie  may be confusing media with product - or at
least she's confusing ~me~.   Photography, paint, charcoal and stencils
are merely media that may or may  not produce art.  Taking photography
and doing something with it that  makes it look like another media
doesn't make the original photograph any  less art.  Nor does
effecting those changes necessarily make the new  thing more arty
than the original.  Different, yes.  More  arty?  Not necessarily.

OTOH, since the faux change in media is  certainly part of Marnie's
expression, the change is art, so perhaps her term  to artify is
okay.  I guess what bothers me is the implication that  the original
product is not art, or that it's less art than the finished  product.

Or maybe I'm just being too picky.

That's  all.

Don't think I had that  implication, that photography is less than. 

But you caught the jist -- a  change in apparent medium as to how it looks. 
For me, my photography is less  than, so maybe you picked up on that. I am a 
better artist than a photographer,  and since I started late in life, probably 
always will be. And I am okay with  that, and I am not sure that I have the 
dedication to become a really GOOD  photographer. It's just a hobby for me and 
something I do when I have time.  Recently I've given thought to improving, 
like revisiting and revisiting the  Duck Club, until I experiment with DOF 
more, 
metering more, and get more of what  I want. Really exhaust the area.

And, to be totally truthful, I like the  mediums of art better than I like 
the mediums of photography -- more  paper/canvas styles, more rendering choices 
(pencil/paint, etc.), more depth on  surface, etc. 

But that is sure a strange argument, coming from you,  frank -- the 
non-artist.

Not a straight  photo. Not rendered like Godfrey does either. Basically, so 
far, I've used  mainly the artistic filters in Elements 5. Along with other 
things like bumping  up contrast and saturation. Artistic filter = artified. 
But 
also trying for a  painting or drawing effect = artified. It's my own word. ;-)

I've wanted  to branch out more, and I will probably soon. But I hesitate to 
show on list  because many on list are photographic purists. OTOH, a lot of 
what Godfrey does  aren't straight photos either. (Not hitting on you, Godfrey, 
you're just a good  example.)

Like the http://www.mapphotography.com/PAWS/pages/cherryb.htm  had the water 
color effect applied. It looks a bit like a  watercolor.

While this (all these are on my site)  
http://www.mapphotography.com/PAWS/pages/nmmoon.htm had some dry brush applied  
and a few other things (I forget 
now, I just played with it until I liked it,  but I remember going through 
about 
four versions, steps). I had that on my site  for quite a while as a 
photographic and only included the straight shot  recently in a GESO.

And this  http://www.mapphotography.com/PAWS/pages/twotrees.htm I think was a 
combo of two  things, it may have been paint daubs and something else (I 
don't limit myself  just to the artistic filters). I've painted and drawn so I 
go 
for a certain  effect, aware of how something COULD look 
drawn/painted/pasteled.

And  this http://www.mapphotography.com/PAWS/pages/theend2.htm , the only 
photo I've  sold (to date), I did a LOT of things to. Some on the pixel level. 
I 
don't mind  going in on the pixel level if needed.

I'm more interested in the image than being a photographic purist. But  then, 
I come from an artistic background. OTOH, I am not interested in something  
that looks slick and smooth, either, like a graphic art illustration in a  
magazine.

Sometimes artifying improves a photo, i.e. it makes a better graphic  than a

Many thanks for all the comments on this one.  I was pleased with the
composition - a little better isolation of the blossom without
