On my flight back to Colorado I took a nice enough picture of Denver and thought it would look great if it was tiny. Using Snapseed I tried to add tilt shift and adjust the filters, contrast, etc. so it looks close and tiny. My mom is giving me all her cameras and lenses for Christmas apparently so photo editing is something I should start working on.
My plan is to take my own reference photos to paint as well.
Below is the original photo.
Does this count as art?
Its so interesting how our brains see a limited focal range and naturally assume 'small'.
Like sure giraffes natural instincts are walking after 10 min or whatever, but our instincts are just "really good at imagining things" and somehow that made us global apex predators.
Long story short this is a cool ass photo, and I love the perspective it pushed me towards.
Tiny Denver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becomin' of me
Ride the Dodger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean
Do we have a tiltshift sub on lemmy? I love this kind of pics.
I love the idea, the photo also kinda looks surreal in the first place
I'm not really happy with the colors. Advice? I can see it looks more like a filter than it's close but what would I do in a tool to fix it? I played with color scale, contrast, brightness, etc. and it just looks filtered instead of close to me.
Does your mom have a tiltshift lens? I want one so bad lol I love the resulting images from them!
Great job! Very creative, keep at it!
Woah, I love it. I kept wondering wtf you were on about, because I was looking at the second (original photo) and not getting it. Then I scrolled up before closing the tab and BAM, there it was.
