Abstract & Artistic Renditions

The images in this gallery are a combination of abstracts created "in camera" using techniques such as motion and/or slow shutter speeds. I also occasionally enjoy converting some of my images into artistic renditions by applying filters, textured layers and effects using a variety of plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop. These include Color Efex Pro and Silver Efex Pro, in addition to the complete Topaz Library. I hope you enjoy the results!

Old Town Cartagena (Artistic Rendition)

Cartagena, Colombia

The old walled city of Cartagena was very beautiful and colorful! Most of the time the streets were jammed with people, tourists, horses and carts, taxis, cars and was very noisy! Here was a moment of quiet and empty streets in the early morning as seen from our hotel. There are also many artisans on the streets selling their wares and it seemed appropriate to create a painting out of an HDR image (three exposures blended into one) and transformed using Topaz Labs "Impressions" plug-in for PhotoShop.
