Thanks.I love this. It could be a bird. It could be a plane. It could be a dophin.
I'm hoping eventually I'll be able to develop something vaguely like these wonderful images by Anne McGrath on Flickr. Long way to go yet.

Ive only just read through this thread after finding roxannes feed on instagram. OMG!!!! I might get her book but im very interested in trying to create similar using software techniques.

I think it might be done. Study her subjects a bit to see what things respond to her sort of work. Then directional blur, plus intensified color, structure, and contrast. There might be some tricks in iColorama to help, too, like Style/Edges and/or Style/Lighten/3.

To be fair, any genre is game for her. Very talented. Been trying with superimpose and even dusted off affinity photo but very hard to pull it off as good as I’ve been getting with slow shutter so far. The quest continues…..
Er, was I unfair? I didn't mean to be. I didn't say it was easy to do what she does, and it's dramatically different from much other ICM work. But many of her images are of rectilinear subjects (buildings, bridges, sailboats, etc.), shot with vertical motion most of the time, with verticals sharpened and intensified in processing and colors likewise intensified. So starting with a subject that lends itself to that treatment seems like a good way to go. There are undoubtedly a number ways to get to similar results. The closest I've ever come is "Night in the City" below, which is a combo of two Bluristic shots merged using a Difference blend.

not unfair at all. But, I’ve been playing and the only way I got close, and very close, was with slow shutter cam, and, by editing in app, I was able to get similar style to her. Will keep trying with apps to get something though. Your image is pretty damn powerful, very industrial futuresque.Er, was I unfair? I didn't mean to be.

That's how it struck me, too. Not planned, just something that appeared while processing. In reality, it was shot in daytime, in an alley, in a city where 4 stories makes you one of the tallest buildings around.
I was fooling around with blending two Bluristic images, and when I tried a Difference blend, it suddenly looked like something. Happens that way quite often.

Well keep doing what your doing. Affinity has shown yet again it is more subtle in effects and needs a lot more work and layers to get anywhere. I’ll try superimpose again.That's how it struck me, too. Not planned, just something that appeared while processing. In reality, it was shot in daytime, in an alley, in a city where 4 stories makes you one of the tallest buildings around.
Read her blog first if you haven’t already https://roxanneoverton.com/blog. So much of her technique is about good composition and quality photography in the first place. Kindle version of her book is cheap anyway and I’m sure it would improve our photography too.
Difference! My favorite blend mode!!!!That's how it struck me, too. Not planned, just something that appeared while processing. In reality, it was shot in daytime, in an alley, in a city where 4 stories makes you one of the tallest buildings around.
Oh, will do. (I tend to think of APPStracts as layered images, but I guess there's nothing that says so, is there?)

Agreed, I think a photo changed with one app doesn't somehow cut the mustard.

Unless, of course, the one app is iColorama. Care for some examples?

No examples, I just meant as a personal choice I wouldn't think a photo manipulated with one other app would be what the Appstract challenge is about. Maybe its just my misconception of that thread.Unless, of course, the one app is iColorama. Care for some examples?
Not sure what the joke is?
“Insane use of apps is encouraged, but not mandatory.”.
iColorama is the app equivalent of a 110-tool swiss army knife. It is eccentric as hell but can do almost anything, including combinations of things that would require several other apps to duplicate.

Yes I know what it is, not sure why it was referenced when I was agreeing with your point about limited apps. I think I'm probably going to limit myself to a couple of threads now on here, keep my nose out of other people's business and all that.

Couldn’t get out so it was off to the garden after work. Not wanting flowers or insects, I decided to see what this slow camera app thingie was all about.
hmmm, a bit of work to do to understand this I think.
Pegged out.

As Ted said, iColorama is an example of an app that can do most anything. Certainly 90% of what I want to do when creating an appstract.apart from working on Android

I’m certainly not wishing you to limit yourself to a couple of threads, especially not due to one of my offhand comments.
Ah, I think we missed touch back at the start. I was saying that I thought -- or used to think -- that an appstract was an image created with multiple layers blended together, not necessarily one done with multiple apps. (And that's how I thought iColorama was relevant, because I have done images that are definitely appstract, made from multiple source images, and done them entirely in iColorama.)
I was thinking of an appstract as something composited, assembled from pieces as well as filters. But now that this has all come up, I'm not sure why I thought that. It's not spelled out anywhere as far as I know. So if Starzee says ICM and impressionist images are welcome in APPStracts, we should all do what she says.
Yes please in the APPStract Challenge.Unless, of course, the one app is iColorama. Care for some examples?
