Fantasy Island
Many of the photos I've edited for this blog so far have created illusions while still bearing some resemblance to reality. Today I went for something totally different.

Looking for Inspiration
It was never part of my plans to spend a large chunk of the day watching YouTube videos, but after stumbling across one entitled How Do I Develop My Own Style? I just got carried away as the suggestions for interesting photography videos were all so interesting.
Finally I got dragged into some really quirky stuff involving double exposures and prism use to create some really interesting effects in camera.
It was at that stage that I was reminded of this photo I took way back in 2014.
Despite appearances to the contrary, the only editing I did on this photo was a quick black and white conversion. And no, it wasn't a double exposure! I actually used a multi-image filter screwed into the front of my lens.
It's been a while since I've done anything like this, but perhaps all those videos have been the wake-up call I needed to push myself a bit harder in creating some really wacky photos.

Chilli Flower
I'm still hard at work moving my bonsai blog to it's new domain and, while working with the photos I need for it, I came across this shot of a chilli flower which I used in a post I first published in early January this year.
I was very excited by this little flower, which was the first one on a seedling that I'd acquired a few months before. It was really tiny - about the size of my thumbnail, and I found it quite difficult to get a decent photo.
When I'd done editing it for my bonsai blog, I spent a little time playing with it in Photoshop and created a couple of semi-abstract flower shots.
This first one isn't too different from the reality, but the second one is much more abstract, though still recognisable as a flower.
By contrast to these, a lot of the images I create from my photos bear no resemblance to the photos I started out with.

Fantasy Cactus
It's been another busy day during which I haven't had much time for my photos. However while sorting through photos I need to prepare for my bonsai blog I came across this wacky edit of a photo I'm planning to use in one of my posts.
The actual photo shows a spiky succulent I was hoping to use as bonsai. Unfortunately something went horribly wrong and it died shortly after the photo was taken. It's sad, but I'll always have the photos.
