Making an Impression - Artsy Impressionistic Experimental Photos Thread

Lol. Took a marginal image and pooped on it with software

Hey, that's my standard workflow!

Didn’t have a chance to post this here last night. Same flowers with double exposure but this time I added a Perlin Noise filter in Affinity Photo app. Not something I’ve ever used before so not sure what it’s really meant for. Just kept tweaking it until I liked the result.

@SquarePeg you consistently produce extremely attractive images in this genre, among others.

Thank you that’s very kind of you to say.

Oh my, some VERY strong images, right off the bat!
5 Impressionist Photo Techniques

I thought this was a good on-line article. Another technique...shooting through a plastic sandwich baggie in front of the lens, with or without colored marking pen added to the baggie. One can poke or tear a hole in the center of the baggie's "filter" area, and create a sort of center-spot filter effect.

Here is my first effort, but I would love some tips on what workflow y'all are using.

I tried for an ethereal feel, but I couldn't resist getting the center dead-sharp (maybe a mistake). Used DXO Photolab to use a blur vignette and tinkered a bit with contrast too.

Check out “Impressionist Photography” and Impressionist Photography Learning” groups on Facebook. Lots of different techniques shared in these groups. A lot of the landscapes that are made in camera seem to be done with ICM or double exposure. Lots of filters in PS, Topaz, Affinity, Snapseed can give a painterly look. I’ve seen some great use of textures and plan on giving that a try myself.

For yours, I like the look of the blurred part and would probably keep that across the whole thing.

Still editing all the images from the past month. I posted one of these earlier as a more contemporary image. This was one of the more abstract versions.

I did a Google search on the term photographic impressionism. Got this: photographic impressionism - Yahoo Search Results Yahoo Image Search Results

As far as impressionism...photography played a large part in the development of impressionist painting. YES, you read that right! The Impact of Photography on Painting Multiple other sources go into this influence in a more deep and scholarly manner, but rest assured, it's true: the invention of photography, with its ability to create realistic renderings of any scene the eye could see, meant that painting would soon take a turn away from the documenting, from the realism, that had marked the prior 400-plus years of Western painting history, as artists turned toward a less-realistic, and more free and open and evocative way of painting things. Since there had been invented a device that could record down to the most-minute details the realities of the world, there was no longer such a compelling need for painters to focus their efforts on "realism", and within a few decades of the development of photography, impressionism was born.

In the modern sense, I think that YES, impressionism can be done using a camera and modern photo-related tools (software and printing-out methods).

This was an existing image destined for the bin.

This is a old photo from a trip to VT this past Fall. I ran it through a couple of filters in PSE11 and Topaz labs. I might push it a little more. What do you think?

 

[zulu42]

hmmm I like the sharp lines in the buildings. I really like it as is, myself.

I took a photo that was a few months old and rant it through a couple of PS filters.
