It’s a great day for experiments. Rainy. Kind of cold. We’ve had a lot of rain since yesterday. Supposedly, there are three or four more inches on the way.
So, I used a new app. I’ve used it once in the past. I’ll get into the technical aspects of that on the right hand column.
With all the rain, I needed something to counteract that on Storyteller. This picture just about does that. It’s bright. It’s gauzy. And, there’s a lot of yellow. The photograph, if that’s what this is, moves from darkness to light, at least for peoples who read from left to right.
Even thought there’s been a lot of stupidity as the pandemic seems to be getting managed, that’s what this picture might mean. We are headed into the light.
Or, if you are if you are cynical like me, moving into the light could mean the end. You know what people say when they have died and came back because it wasn’t their time yet.
I think I’ll choose the first option, mostly because I’m not ready to go just yet. There’s a lot of work to be done. And, I want to help.
I know that you want to help too.
Amiright?
So. The app. It turns the image into all sorts of colors. The original photograph was monochromatic, even with the golden arches in the background.
If that wasn’t enough, I added a setting from OnOne that made those globes, which are supposed to be bokeh.
It’s really not bokeh. Bokeh, an often misused Japanese word that Japanese people don’t use, refers to the quality of the out of focus parts of an image.
Usually, that’s found in the background. You want something that’s soft and creamy with some shape.
Once I completed that, added a border. I had something mid-way between a photograph and something else.
