Hi all š My entry for this week’s challenge, set by Tracy of Reflections of an Untidy Mind: Surreal.
I thought this was going to be a real tough one as I headed into my archives.
This first shot was taken in Glasgow & is unedited; it looks like it could be made of 2 or 3 different pictures.
Then I remembered Lensy, he can make things look quite surreal on his own.
I don’t have photoshop, so my wife suggested I use some of the effects in Canva to edit Lensy’s shots; below are the results (the original is the first of each gallery).
Lensy does a great job, and Canva added some cool adjustments. I like the mosaics best overall, but the curvy lines look amazing as did the jagged one that looked like a saw blade. Thanks for sending me these, Jez!
Thanks, Marsha š I did a mosaic edit of the Kelpies; it looked really good. I’ll let you know when I’ve found it.
I’d love to see it.
Hi again, Marsha š I managed to find it: https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2022/09/09/one-to-three-photo-processing-challenge-september-2022/
Thanks for taking the time to find it, Jez. Canva has some interesting edits.
These pictures are amazing, Jez, especially the edited Lensyās shots. Very creative!
Thanks, Sylvia š
Great great Lensy’s. Excellent.
Thanks, John š
Beautifully done Jez, I especially love the ones with lensy and the sunrise image chosen as your header is fabulous and would make a great print or greeting card šš
Thanks you so much, Xenia š
Lensy is already a helpful friend, but your wife and Canva made the photos even more surreal. My favorite effect is the swirly distortion for the picnic table.
Thanks, Gift š A lot of fun playing around with š
Intrigued by your experimentation with Lensy and Canva. Such interesting results. Loved the effect created with the third sunrise where it looks like the left side is starting to burst.
Thanks, Olga š That’s fast becoming one of my favourite shots š
WOW I LOVE THEM ALL JEZ, BUT I REALLY LIKE THE MOSAIC TYPE SHOTS!!! š
Thanks, Mitchell š The mosaics are fun to play with š
Fabulous ! Lensy did well to add a surreal touch but the Canva took it to another level!
Thank you so much, Anne š
These are stunning, Jez! All are beautifully process. Creative, indeed! Love your edit Lensy shots. š
Thanks, Amy š
Wow Jez – and thank you to your wife and Lensy! Terrific examples, love especially the cracked ones. Never heard of canva though!
Thanks, Leya š Canva is an Australian graphic design platform; its geared mostly towards poster creation & content creation for social media!
Great lensy photos Jez!
Thanks, Aletta š
Amazing Lensy edits! Great results. Hard to pick a favorite!
Great work Jez! Lensy rules!! I loved all of them especially lensy’s fractured images. Very surreal.
Thanks, Anne š
Wow, you gotta be happy with that, Jez. Very funky. It might be a sign of where my mind is but I particularly like the ones that look like they are being ripped apart, symbolic of the fabric of the universe ripping apart.
Thanks, Tracy š & like the fractured ones too, particularly the header; to me it looks a bit like an eye seen side on š¤
I looked again. I agree.
I even used a lens ball photo in my submission. I expected you’d include a few, but the Canva edits took the images over the top!
Thanks, John š Looking forward to seeing your post when it goes live š
Kudos to your wife, the real star this week Jez! Lensy did help out for sure. My favorites this week are the ones that look like they’re all cracked – terrific creativity this week!
Thanks, Tina š
Lensy is the best š
But don’t tell him that š
Lensy is becoming a star.
He likes the limelight š
