Lens Artists Photo Challenge #154 / #410 – One Photo Edited

Posted in PhotographyTagged , , , , , , , , ,

This week Ritva is looking back to Tina’s challenge #154 – One Photo Two Ways. You can view Tina’s original challenge here. Ritva asks us “to explore the different methods you use to create images.”

I don’t always do a lot of photo editing except for cropping and sometimes a few minor edits. For this challenge I have chosen three images and used different editing techniques to create the final image. In each of the examples the original photo is on the left with the final edited image on the right.

For my first example I took a photo of pink Knockout Roses. I thought the original photo was kind of blah so I cropped the photo to a square with two blooms and replaced the background with black to bring out the vibrant pick blooms.

In this next example I wanted to give this old cabin at the Fort King Georgie State Historic Site a more old fashioned look. First I cropped the photo to focus on the cabin surrounded by the ancient oak trees. I then converted the image to sepia tones.

In this final example I thought the original photo of the blue umbrellas and chairs on the beach was ok but I wanted to make it a little more fun. I tried several different effects before I decided I liked the way it looked with a colored pencil effect.

Many thanks to guest host Steve Hyde’s for hosting last week’s challenge. Your responses to his Best Ever Photo challenge were fantastic. Thank you to everyone who joined the challenge.

    1. Thank you so much. I considered converting the roses to black and white before changing the background to black but I like the way it turned out by leaving the roses pink. I’m glad you like it.

  10. Oh, Beth, you aced this challenge, no doubt about it! All three enhanced images are, I believe, much better and more appealing. My favourite is the old cabin – the sepia is absolutely perfect for it – but I’m most intrigued by the “coloured pencil” edit. How on earth did you do that. It’s very funky and cool and a little edgy. Nicely done! pp

    1. Pam, thank you so much! I’m glad you like the old cabin with the sepia tones. I use an old version of Photoshop Elements for editing. I used the Colored Pencil filter for the beach scene and adjusted the settings to get the look I wanted.

    1. Thanks Arati! the colored pencil effect was really fun to create. I used an older version of Photoshop Elements and applied the colored pencil effect. I made a few adjustments to the settings to get the final result. I’m glad you like the way it turned out.

    1. Ritva, thank you so much for this great challenge! I had played around with the colored pencil effects on that beach scene a while back but never had a chance to use it until now. I’m glad you like the way it turned out.
