Why Nature?

I love nature. Nature is beautiful, peaceful, and soothing. The pleasure of natural green sight, blue skies, smell of the salty sea air, sounds of birds, deep forests, mountains, stars shining with the moonlight, everything just caught my eyes. 
Sometimes I wonder what else in these nature world, other than us, whatelse that we cannot see. What is the history, or secrets hidden in such beautiful places. There may be another realm sharing the same nature with us and live there. I linked the nature with any elements with the story behind it..

Theme: Nature ~ 5 subjects

For my photoshop project, these are themes of photos that I'm going to work on.


Theme : NATURE

1) [Lake] - Reflection
2) [Tree]- Seasons
3) [Forest] - Elf
4) [Sea] - Deep Castle
5) Ice

More information about the selected theme will be posted with step-by-step photoshop working flow.

Below is one of my image-editing photo during my freetime. Burrrrssttt effect..


But I created this using Pixelmator, an image editor software for Mac OS X. I just want to experiment with the tools, and it seems that it has not much different than Photoshop. This was the only and the latest experiment I did with Pixelmator..  :p 


Photo above is the original image.. me and my big bro in the most holy mosque located at Mecca, called Masjidil Haram, during Hajj 2009. The most beautiful memory in life.
  This candid was taken by my big bro (when I'm not yet ready.. ya I looks funny I know.. >< ..).


That's all for now.

  
   cheers!

Tips & Techniques



- make a rough sketch to throw your idea onto the paper. search for a reference image, but don't simply copy.
- sometimes I start to develop based on what I have in my mind, but it is advisable to write down/sketch to make sure your idea didn't fly away.
- try an error of various tools. Each effects can be made by many techniques. Different user with different style.
- always save a backup file in case you want to undo from earlier than what left in the history steps.
- accept the critism and improve your work constantly.
- it's not advised to use default settings, such as default gradient and blending default color. People will get tired looking at it.
- if you want to place your copyright text or watermark, make sure it didn't 'cover' your image as a whole. Sometimes copyright text distract your viewer from viewing your image.
- make a proper clean up so that viewer cannot 'detect' your #fail in the photo
- up to date with latest techniques by subscribe or follow graphics related website.

Imagination



“When you think something, you think in picture. You don't think a thought in words. You think a picture that expresses your thought. Working with this picture will produce it into your experience.”
- Grace Speare (American Author)
