  • "Fixing" Bad Shots

    OK, you guys with Photoshop can fix just about anything. I don't have it, and I never learned it. (I was the writer in my Ad Agency days.) But, last week while putting together a Power Point for Mark Feist's Winter Reno party (A great party!), I started playing with photo effects in MGI Photo Suite. (Came with my wife's Sony digital camera.) I've found that you can do some pretty neat things with what were considered throw-away shots. Here's on of Strega running up early in the morning in 2002. The original shot was heavy on the digital zoom and a blurred. So I cropped the shot aggressively and used the oil paint effect. Not bad.

    Look ma, I'm Degas!

    What have you done with photo toys? Peas

    Alright, I'll play.

    If your prone to motion sickness I wouldn't stare at the radial blur one to long.

        Digitizing images out of slides sometimes makes for less then happy results - but since I shoot a boatload of film each time I'm at Reno, I just toss the bad or out of focus stuff (too time consuming to mess with). BUT making something a bit different from the original photos is what I really like to do.

          I haven't quite figured out how Victor does it but here's my attempt at imitating what he posted.

                Want to borrow some Tim? I have plenty to spare.

                Here's a streakin' phantom. I know I have better things to do with my time but this is kinda fun. Learning more about using Photoshop too!

                    Hey, thanks Victor. I think I got the hang of the layers thing. I've used them before but never to that degree.

                    BTW, Ogre's are like onions.

                            Nathan Davis' Mustang at Middlesboro. He was across the ramp and I got into the digital zoom with ill effects. Even blown up as a background image, it looks cool. When I'm old and retired, I'll stipple this with acrylics...
