Wordless Wednesday 25: Revealed!
This entry was posted on Jul 03 2008
I’m liking this game of stumping everyone with an abstract photo. It’s fun and also adds more validity to my argument that you don’t need expensive equipment to capture interesting photos.
Yesterday’s photo was tweaked in Photoshop CS2 to make it more interesting than a rough texture. The image is a limestone rock with a pine needle on it. Wow, I know. To make it give you vertigo, I added a radial blur filter to it, set at about 8 or 9 pixels. After that, I rendered some lighting effects to eliminate some of the hot spots around the edges and to add more depth. What you see is the result.
Come back next week for another abstraction and try identifying the subject. Anyone correctly guessing (or even close for that matter) will get a link in the next post. Leave your guess in the comments. Until next week!
Side note: I acknowledge that I do use Photoshop CS2, to which some may reply that it is expensive software, so what’s the difference? Yes, it is, but most of the things I do on this blog are easily reproduced in the GIMP (which is free).

I would never have guessed, although I was thinking rock, but never even seen the pine needle, I just thought it was a part of the rock! lol
