I started a photo project today (to avoid housework, I'm afraid), shooting some of my nautilus shells, and processing them with a variety of Topaz filters. I created way more than I'll ever be able to post here, but this was one of my favorites. The nautilus shell has always attracted me, and I've included them in my art many times over the years. 5/26/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
This is another image I created using my nautilus shells the other day. I used slightly different filters. Don't worry, I won't show all the different combinations and filtering, but it as a fun project. 5/27/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
When I was working with bubbles in the dirty dishes, Terry made a comment about people shooting bubbles above colored backgrounds. (Thanks Terry!) Her comment made be remember a technique I'd heard of, floating oil on the surface of water in a glass container, with color below the glass. I experimented with this idea, with a bunch of false starts, using prints of some of my abstract photos below. Although I deleted plenty of shots, there were several that I ended up liking. It was a fun project, and this is one of the images that I liked. I may post a few more over time. 5/13/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
