SL 'art', show off your edited snapshots

[Jo Yardley]

Ok, it may not be 'art' per se, or maybe it is but by simply messing about with photoshop we can sometimes make some rather fancy snapshots.

Lets show em!

I want to see what you've done with normal snapshots to make them extraordinairy.

And if there already is a topic like this... sorry for not finding it.

Anyway, to start things of, here are a few of mine.

I love the way you treated your pictures Jo. There is an exhibition in Paris at the moment on "German Expressionismus" in the 20s where your shots would fit perfectly. You have managed to render an incredible atmosphere here! This is brilliant.

Actually I started a thread kind of similar to this one some time ago. I deleted all the pics I posted, unfortunately, due a forum photo album problem, but here's the link so you can see what all the others posted with great creativity.

I will try to retrieve some of my pictures and post them here later. I mean if I can find them somehow in my archives, lol. I changed my computer in the meantime...

[Jo Yardley]

Thank you very much.

I expected there to be such a topic... just couldn't find it :smileyembarrassed:

Shall I add these pictures there as well or just continue the topic here?

[valerie Inshan]

No no no!!! Continue your topic Jo! Your approach is different as you focus on edited pictures, the other thread was more about "framing" a painting. I look forward to see new pictures in your thread! The link I gave you was just for information. :smileyhappy:

[Jo Yardley]

Ok ok ok!

[Charolotte Caxton]

Very artistic! I love the fourth one :heart:

[valerie Inshan]

Not so creative as yours but I finally found these two...:smileyhappy:

 

[Kobuk Farshore]

I especially love the first picture you posted, Jo; the light in his eyes is sort of haunting.

I'm not the greatest Photoshopper, but I attempted a faded-photograph look recently.

This was taken at Carriage Trade sims while we were practicing for an RP coronation parade. I'm one of the black guard unicorns. :}

Lovely snug-winter pictures, Valerie. You look pretty cosy falling asleep in that fluffy sweater. :}

[valerie Inshan]

Thank you so much Kobuk! You actually did a great job with the color tones in your pictures. You have created such an eerie and poetic atmosphere. There is something kind of victorian in here yet beautifully unreal. Beautiful photos indeed! :smileyhappy:

[Charolotte Caxton]

Wow, Kobuk, yours are so fantastically wonderful, and to be a unicorn! Looking at your photos feels like glimpsing a peek into some sort of incredible fairy tale. Stunning.

Val, I love your paintings, very well done! You are the portrait of a lady

[Kobuk Farshore]

:smileyembarrassed: Thank you both for the lovely comments. I do see SL as sort of the world we all wished for as kids; with the ability to morph from being mermaids to astronauts at whim while in the middle of a shopping mall, without anyone batting an eyelash.

Everyone needs more fairytales. :}

[valerie Inshan]

Aww thanks Charo! You always have the kindest words. Coming from you, this compliment is an honor. I admire so much your work in the "lights & shadows" thread! :smileyhappy:

[Charolotte Caxton]

Thank you so very much, Valerie. That means so much to me.

I really like that first one in particular. For some reason it makes me keep going back to look at it. I think that's what art is about.

[LoveAngeL Lyre]

Very good thread Jo and amazing pics all!

[Charolotte Caxton]

Wow, Love. Strangely erotic. Sharp pixels comes to mind, it's like looking through an old screen into a different future. Excellent.

[LoveAngeL Lyre]

Thanks Charolotte! I "played" with many effects and options using Picnik (an online program for editing).

[Charolotte Caxton]

Oh yes? I will have to check that out, thanks!

[LoveAngeL Lyre]

You are welcome Charolotte. It is so cool, especially for residents who have no photoshop or similar programs.

[MuffinUnsane1488303563]

Something I was working on. However I dropped it since I changed the look of the avatar.

[Kobuk Farshore]

Ooh, fantastic lighting, Muffin. You have a sort of post-apocalyptic quiet. I love it.

[antonyfreeman]

The pictures are just incredible. Just wanted to congratulate you, Jo. Amazing job.

[Jo Yardley]

Few more, different style this time, photos made by Zeno McAuley, I just did the photoshopping.

[Davedawgg]

 Ok a little watercolor for the first one
