Have Fun With Your Minolta

Go to last post
I like your constant attempt to get us to focus on using and enjoying our equipment. I love taking pictures and then put them through various filters to see what additional images can be created. Here's one I would like to share:



And I will certainly try to combine 2 or more pictures like what you did with Angel.

Reading Clifford's words about 'ordinary' Minolta camera folk
perhaps not being able to get a word in edgeways here I'm posting
this shot in the hope that it might stimulate people to have a bit
of fun and share some unusual pictures. Any Minollta camera can
take the pictures and virtually any image editor that allows
masking, inverting, and cut & paste, and combining will be able to
do it.
Here's a combined shot featuring my dog "Angel" taken from the
mountains and from the seashore. Not technically perfect but it was
a LOT of fun to do.

Anyone got similar pictures? Anyone want to give it a try? Anyone
got something else that's out of the ordinary and which was fun to
do with their Minolta?

The sax was a digital photo, the model (yes, that's Naomi Campbell; no, I'm sorry to say I didn't photograph her) was scanned from American Photo magazine on a flatbed, and the frame was from Photoshop.

What an amazing picture! Sometimes the electronic filters can produce art, and this time I feel they really have. What was the basic workflow that created it?

Hi, Bob.

That's actually really nicely done, I'm not so sure that supermodels or their agents care for us using their images in creative collages, but you have created a very interesting image. Now... if we could have a musician coming out of an instrument, a craftsperson coming out of their craft... yes, a good idea and thank you for sharing it here.
John.

Yes, I did have some trepidation about using it, but I did credit the source and I never made a nickel from it. And the way her career is going, she can use all the exposure she can get.

They look a lot of fun to do: That cabinet... if you hadn't told us and if you'd cropped out the door fames either side, could have given people some serious brain-ache wondering just how the carpenter made such a thing to fit in a corner. I like chrome and plasma effects too - did you ever see a magazine called "Omi" which had a house-style like that?

Yea, it's one of my favourites. Can't quite remember the workflow. I think I cropped, remove a small piece of rubbish in the foreground, levels to darken a bit, increase contrast and saturation, usm and finally one of the artistic filters (I think cross-hatch). The original without the filter looks quite good too.

This may not be everyones idea of fun but you may remember John that I like playing with Virtual Painter(gouache filter).

This is a sprig of Alemanchier Canadensis. The fun aspect is waiting for the breeze to die down before pressing the shutter - is there a woodland sprite that whips up a wind whenever a photographer tries a macro shot outdoors?>

Hi Iam3D,

Your first pic is a good experiment to give the bike wheel a kind of an enhanced techno touch.

The second one with the mirror effect is a good idea. But I can't see that nice Hungarian cigarette holder around. ;-)

Cheers, Feri

Hi, Keith,
After I found this tree watching me
http://www.pbase.com/image/15022811
I am very wary of woodland sprites!

It is a given that the wind will blow when we try to do some nice macros and even the nicest compositions don't turn out quite like we saw them -
see the green aphids in

But yours is a nice shot - well worth getting it just right.
John.
