Photography : Fantaisie Improptu

My theme for the session is Fantaisie Improptu. A famous piece composed by the great composer of romantic, Frederick Chopìn. Left hand plays 6/4 beat and right hand plays 4/4 beat. Must be confusing! But that's what makes it so unique.

The original picture :

AF 2.8, manual focus (15cm).

Edited with Picnik : saturation and contrast level, cross process, and focal black/white. The result is below..

Wow! Dramatic!

Photography : Ordinary Sky to Van Gogh's Painting

Original file seemed so ordinary. Nothing was so special. Just blue sky, yeah taken from the 2nd floor of school at 9.00 AM. It was a light blue sky, a bit cloudy (might be cirrus).

Here is the original file :

No saturation level changes, no cross process. Natural as taken by phone camera. But, I edited it with Picnik.com and just clicked "Auto Correct" button, then automatically the picture went 'Van Gogh'!

The picture above reminded me to Michaelangelo or Vincent van Gogh. It seemed like ceiling mural at St.Peter or any cathedrals in this world (or at least Christian Pop music video with the evening sky as bgv). Using auto correct and cross process, the result was so much satisfying for me. Unbelievable! No need to set the saturation level, contrast level, or blur areas!

So outstanding, I can't stand for the sky..
