Fungi Hunting
This was from a photo taken on a day hunting mushrooms on the Ashdown Forrest.  _________________ Paranoia is reality on a finer scale. |

Certainly an interesting abstract. I wish I could think like that, I'm always too 'linear'. _________________ It must be Thursday, I never could get the hang of Thursdays |

Re: Fungi Hunting
Although we did see a number of the Fly-Agaric mushrooms, which are "interesting" when consumed. We were really just out looking for the more edible range. The abstract part is most definately influenced by past magical experiences. There are visiuals I have had on them that I would give my left arm to be able to reproduce on the PC.  _________________ Paranoia is reality on a finer scale. |

Re: Fungi Hunting
Good composition, and the colouring works well. Haven't seen that KPT filter used in a while - good to see it still works! The fact that the two figures are both walking away from us bothers me slightly, though. Shouldn't we be able to see some kind of focal point that they're walking towards? |

Re: Fungi Hunting
To be honest just getting it looking the way it did was amazing enough for me lol. I had not realy considered focal points, although for me, my youngest in the bright red is the focal point. The frax filter works well, but oh boy does it take time to render, then the original image is large you could be mistaken for thinking the PC had hung up rendering it. I made the mistake once of an A3 size document at 600dpi and said filter. I think I got the PC back about 30min later. CP PS Thanks for all the comments, as I have said I am a hobbiest and would love to be doing this for money. We all need our dreams _________________ Paranoia is reality on a finer scale. |

Re: Fungi Hunting
Yes, Frax does take forever. Overnight still sometimes fails to complete. We do, of course, all need our dreams. But working in Photoshop for a living rarely means creating beautiful images: most of it is tedious retouching work, drawing pen paths, and colour correction. I'm one of the lucky ones! |

Re: Fungi Hunting
Being a technical consultant (oooooh yup one of them ;-) ) what I get the most out of using photoshop is the sense of actually having made something, not just playing with 1010101010's to make other people money and nothing tangible to show for it. I do make chilli sauce though which is nice little side line and do some t-shirt designs too. I am putting my photoshop skills to use on producing the lables and packaging designs for the chilli sauce. CP _________________ Paranoia is reality on a finer scale. |
