I like it, but it's out of focus [RGB]

This is the kind of focus that keeps me thinking about what I'm doing. I like it. I like the colors, I like the textures. But it's out of focus. For some purposes that's obviously a show stopper. But for others, does it matter, really?


It's obviously the leaves of some plant, if you care about that. Does it matter? That's an interesting question. One can think of it as just and abstract pattern of color. But can you see it that way? Or do you pretty much have to see it as an arrangement of physical objects with light playing over them? I think the latter.

And if we change the colors so they're unnatural?



Gray scale is unnatural too, but we're used to it. After all, everything is gray in the dark.

Ice, the Photoshop edition

So, start with the photo I just posted, but before I'd turned it into a gray-scale image:

20170924-_IGP0336

It was sitting in a blue pail, hence the blueness. Now intensify the blue and modify to produce red and green versions as well:

20170924-_IGP0336 B

20170924-_IGP0336 G

20170924-_IGP0336 R

Now let's return to the gray-scale image and add some false color:

20170924-_IGP0336-2Eq LB X

And play with that a bit:

20170924-_IGP0336-2Eq LB Z HT40

20170924-_IGP0336-2Eq LB Z Sq200 Eq

20170924-_IGP0336-2Eq LB Z Sq200 Eq Vrt
