Same same but different

[Billions 687]

I'm attaching a couple of hundred photos from Pattaya,taken over the last three or four years and chosen at random. I've got thousands on my hard drive,and no-one but myself gets to see them,so going to change that by uploading a bundle tonight. I keep telling MM I'll post some,so I'm finally true to my word!

 

All are processed in some way....often I see the photo as raw material that I then change,or play with. Passes the time and helps me re-live Pattaya experiences when I get back home.The host programme I use is Photoshop,and then use plug-in filters to dabble. Some are the given presets,others just experiments. I could spend ages knocking up some amazing creations but these are simple ones.

 

Some effects I like are ghosting the image,double exposures,overlays,light leaks,splash colour,ageing,distressing,blurring,tints and chromatic aberrations. I sometimes pop a photo in several editing programmes,and see what results come out the other side. Often I save these altered states and use them as screensavers,and here are some of them.Please don't criticise that they are over-processed! I'm not trying to portray realism.

 

Right....here goes (in no particular order) :

Nice!

 

I feel guilty, though. I have a nice camera and lenses, but many times when I travel, I don't use it as much as I should. I think I should probably look for something smaller, that can fit in my pocket. Lately, I've just been using my phone.

 

When I was a kid I used to have a darkroom and 35mm cameras and lenses. I spent many hours taking and developing pictures. Today, it's all much easier and yet I'm still lazy about it all.
