Backyard Weeds... after the Pensylvania Impressionist Follinsbee with a Dlux-3

I have been working with a photo application called Topaz Studio which allows a user to mimic the styles of Impressionist painters based on photographs. Today i went out into my backyard and with a Dlux-3 made a quick macro photo lightly edited in Lightroom of a couple of beautiful weeds. Then I took the image into Topaz Studio and converted the image into one based on the work of John Follinsbee. Last, I brought the image into Luminar 3 for a warm color adjustment.The first image is the conversion followed by the original.

Thanks for looking

I prefer reality, but I am quite taken with the Impression.

I understand the sentiment. Its really more of a digital art form rather than photography. I have produced several series of images with major surgery to remove modern intrusions (signage, air conditioners, autos and so forth) with the objective of achieving a more "timeless" look to landscape images. I have also printed some of them on canvas... it is quiet a lovely effect.

Oh... the compact camera is perfect for this as it is so pocket-able and because you are primarily looking at composition and color rendering rather than other features available in contemporary photography.

Today I went out for a bike ride to Pidcock Creek which is in Buck's County, PA. I made this pano style image with the Dlux 3 and used the same processing. Lightroom, Topaz, Luminar and back into Lightroom for some final adjustments.

Just to keep the Impressionist vibe turning. This one is after the style of Thomas Manley who worked extensively in this part of the world at the turn of the last century.

Thanks again for looking.

I'd agree, the Topaz program is a lot of fun.
