The stained glass windows at the Kensington Methodist Church were lit tonight by both Christmas and Taize candles. I decided this might be an appropriate time to play around with the Stained Glass filter. I used the Difference blend mode, then selected all the white dividing lines generated by the filter and filled them with black to create windows with essentially the same design, but a more abstract character.
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
OMGosh, that makes a huge difference, I LOVE the edited version - so many colors and different patterns!! FUN!
ReplyDeleteDitto...I find the filtered version more interesting.
ReplyDeleteTurns out my aunt Betsy in Berlin knows you! She works at the library and said she'll say hello for me next time you stop in. Small world, eh?
Happy holidays!
Nice work with the filter! It added a lot of interest to what is already a lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteVal--Betsy the Library Lady is your aunt? No way! That's amazing! I will certainly mention the 365ers to her on Tuesday (my library day.)
