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!

Fall Color (Artistic Rendition)

Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge
Socorro, New Mexico

I applied a painterly filter using Topaz "Impressions" to this beautiful "glowing" tree as the sun illuminated the fall color at Bosque del Apache.
