Combination Post: Photohunters and The Weekend in Black and White



To combine the two photohunt themes (traces and ink) I manipulated a photo using graphic tools (tracing as well as pin and ink). I figured tracing a photo worked for traces and the pin and ink tool worked for ink.

Below is the same photograph I used for the photohunt but this is what it looks like as a regular black and white shot for the weekend in black and white.

Last, the shot in full color. As a rule I'm not happy with the results when I try manipulating a photograph in a graphics program. However, in this case I like the way the first picture worked out using the graphics tools.

    The original photo was a perfect one to play with. I like how it morphed into such pretty lacy patterns.

    the black and white photo is very nice. i don't know why that one speaks most to me... the graphics one is really good too. you should play more often with your other images.

    your tree and sky shot below is perfect. hope all is well. have a great day~

    I like the delicacy of the black and white, and the lovely light. But I have to admit I'm very drawn to your manipulated version.

    I agree with you, Carver! I think the processing works very well in the first picture! A wonderful and interesting pattern!

    Clever work! You picked a perfect original to play with --the top one looks like an antique Oriental etching.

    Hi Carver, that is so cool! Did you use Photoshop? It's a very creative result and perfect for the two themes.

    Have a wonderful weekend.

    I'm more of a 'natural' shot person, too, but sometimes editing gives great results like yours! Loving them all.

    These are wonderful Carver. I am reminded of my college days as a textile design student.
