Woodland Abstracts
07th February 2011
A couple of images from a recent woodland abstract project, nothing too special or new about the technique used to produce the pictures. The images are created by moving the camera during the exposure in a downward direction, how fast and far you move the camera depends on the shutter speed, it really pays just to experiment until you get an effect you like. My favourite method is to hand hold the camera and to walk through the woodland just looking for interesting patterns in the tree trunks or the branches in the canopy, but I do warn you that you do get some funny looks as you look like a nodding donkey with a camera.
The processing of the images can be as minimal or as extensive as you wish as its all down to personal taste. My favourite techniques are either to introduce a more pastel looking effect to the image softening the colours, or to convert to black and white.
We are just finalising the details on the new services/workshops to be offered this year and we will get them posted as soon as we can. The new image galleries will also be loaded on to the site over the next couple of weeks.
