I have been taking different subjects and experimenting with what I can do with the resulting images. In this case I am using a portion of a large begonia leaf – this is one of my wife’s house plants in our small conservatory.
I am showing these images using a comparison slider – drag the slider to show/hide the images. First, though, I show the original leaf as a square crop:
Big begonia leaf image-1: The original of the leaf used for the next set of images
The next 2 pairs are sphere images with the original sphere on the left and with art effects on the right:
Big begonia leaf image-1: Original sphere imageBig begonia leaf image-1: With my ‘kl2i’ art effect applied
Big begonia leaf image-1: a second sphere imageBig begonia leaf image-1: With my ‘kl2i’ art effect applied
Now I show a second image of the leaf:
Big begonia leaf image-2: this is used for the next 2 pairs of sphere images
Big begonia leaf image-2: Sphere version of the original imageBig begonia leaf image-2: With my ‘kl2i’ art effect applied
Big begonia leaf image-2: Second sphere version of the originalBig begonia leaf image-2: Second sphere image with my ‘kl2i’ art effect applied
This third example is similar to the second set but different enough to for the sphere versions to be distinct:
Big begonia leaf image-3: Used for the next 2 pairs of of sphere photos
Big begonia leaf image-3: from the originalBig begonia leaf image-3: With my ‘kl2i’ art effect applied
Big begonia leaf image-3: Second sphere versionBig begonia leaf image-3: With my ‘kl2i’ art effect applied
I found that the images without the art effect aren’t so good as those with – What do you think?…
