I have tried posterisation on some of last years photos. What I am discovering is that with some images it just doesn’t work. Others need different techniques – there is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Here are 3 images I have worked with recently. I am presenting these photos as before\/after ‘slider’ pairs and cropped versions showing the detail also as before\/after slider pairs. You may need to zoom-in on your device to see some of the texture detail in the cropped versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First I am showing a panoramic view of Ynyslas – a large tidal beach and estuary north of Aberystwyth in Wales:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the detailed version you should be able to make out where I have re-introduced some texture into the colour blocks. I had a lot of problems with the sky; it may have worked better with a different sky but I prefer to work with the whole image. I do like the landscape though!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the next 2 images, I have chosen photos taken at Cannock Chase – a tree and a landscape – to see how well they work. As before, I am showing the full image and a detail crop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tree I feel has almost worked but I can’t quite work out how to make it better…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this view I like the way the sky has turned out but I am not so keen on the landscape. Still, I am learning each time I try this technique.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
