From photo to drawing

Lemon, lime and lemonade

Been wanting to play with lemon, limes and lemonade for a while now!

Setup:

• softbox 
• blue background 
• lights from left and right and top, through the softbox 
• macro lens 
• tripod 
• peg to hold the fruit 
• glass with lemonade and lemon and lime slices

Panography

When I saw the first panography I wanted to try it out. It was sunny today and I decided to take photos of the Beehive to use for my first panography. Took about a hundred photos, and before getting into my car, checked the photos........oh no, all the photos had a blue colour. Changed the WB settings and started clicking again!

At home I downloaded the photos and changed the size of all to 800 pixels max. Then opened them all in Photoshop, created a new and large RGB canvas to work on and copied 10 photos at a time to the canvas.

Settings for the canvas: Called it Panography, custom size, 80 cm x 50 cm, 300 pixels/inch resolution. RGB colour, 8 bit and the background white

Then changed the opacity of each photo to 50%, rotated those to be rotated (edit, transform, rotate) and moved them into position, like a huge puzzle!!!

Will definitely do this again, love the effect!!

Paint blobs

Saw some lovely 'wave' photos with paint blobs and decided to give it a try. Bought some acrylic paint, took the soft-box and lights out, even the tripod for a change. Found out it is actually very hard to create a wave-effect with paint! Ended up mixing it together a bit on glass and took some macro shots.

One looked like faces in the paint and I quite liked it
