Theme - a macro shot of a patch of wallpaper - and variations - Photoshop™ manipulations tweaked in the process of learning and getting the most out of the photo processing program. All done in the spirit of Frédéric Chopin.
Papier peint - The original shot of the patch of wallpaper.
Terrain lunaire - This black and white treatment turns it into something that looks like the Lunar terrain.
Vue satellite de la terre - Enhancing the individual colors (green, blue, cyan, and white) and tweaking the saturation very slightly makes this look like the satellite view in Google Maps.
Cristal microscopique - Amping up the saturation a lot and the tweaking the contrast a little creates the feel of something crystalline seen in a microscope.And speaking of Chopin... Here's his Étude opus 25 no. 11, the "Winter Wind" étude, played here by Valentina Lisitsa

Chopin Etudes...oh the memories of years of piano lessons just came flooding back! :)
ReplyDeletethe walls are turning psychedelic & mumero uno Polish geezer provides the soundtrack!
ReplyDeleteThat is a perfect combination of music and images - each image taking the theme to new places.
ReplyDeleteLove the second variation. I always feel like I am missing out because I suck at using photoshop, but its okay because it gives me a reason to come check your blog out :)
ReplyDeleteRoy, this is wild: I was playing the Beethoven video, then clicked on the Chopin, and it began to play while the Beethoven was still playing. A frenzy of blacks and whites! Kind of like what goes on in the brain on a frantic day.....
