Don't Be Afraid To Do Wild Experimentations


Forest Fire

Ever since I did my Photo of the Week article of Luc's shot that used Pixel Bender, I've been wanting to experiment with it again. I had seen Luc's other Pixel Bender work before and was floored, but I had mixed results the last time I played with it.


For this photo I used the Black & White image from my Silver Efex Pro 2 article, then applied the Pixel Bender and went wild with colorization to create an image I call Forest Fire. It's totally different from what I'd normally do, but I enjoyed getting out of my comfort zone and experimenting. I encourage you to do the same as it helps you grow as an artist and perhaps find that next hot new look.

I love it! Thanks for the article. Nik Software did a tweet about your post. I got inspired, downloaded it, and already tried it out! It really gives a cool look!

This should not longer be considered a photograph, but rather digital artwork. Do people photograph anymore? Or do they use photographs as a way to another art form. It is one thing to tweak a photo to align with what you saw. But the results from HDR or pixel bending should not be considered photography.
