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!

"The Gift" Elegant Tern & Chick (Thalasseus elegans)

Artistic Rendition
Moss Landing, California

This image of an elegant tern feeding it's chick was selected for the top 100 in the 2015 North American Nature Photography Association's Annual Showcase and featured in their beautiful annual publication "Expressions".

It was digitally altered in Adobe PhotoShop by adding a textured layer to the background, giving it a painterly, ephemeral quality.
