photo manipulations

As you might know I really like manipulated photos. I'd say photoshopped, but I don't really agree with that term since you can edit photos in other programs (that do not cost 600 euros) too. Anyway I thought I'd show you some of my own works that I have not shown you before. These are all made in Picmonkey, and sometimes I used Microsoft paint too. Yay for free programs. I'll make a short note at every picture about how I created them.

-for this one I opened one photo in picmonkey and than added the same photo as an overlay. I fliped it and then I used the circular paint/eraser brush to make this pattern. It's kind of trippy, I like it.

This is a photo collage, also made using the overlay option. I used 6 photos on this one. It kind of reminds me of surrealistic art.

This is my lovely boyfriend Tim, don't worry he wasn't falling for real. If you'd like to learn how to achieve this effect take a look at my tutorial on levitation photography.

I copied this concept from a photo I am unable to find. So I'm really sorry I can't give credit for the idea. I used Microsoft paint to make the triangle shapes, then uploaded those in picmonkey as overlays and adjusted them a bit. 

for this one I used the tint option in picmonkey to add the color. I really like the rainbow stuff in this one. 

Once again I used paint for the triangle shapes, and uploaded them to picmonkey as an overlay. 

So I hope you guys like my stuff, in case you do you might like to follow my photography board on pinterest.

I always get so happy when the first warm days of spring arrive, and the sun rays warm your skin so gently.
ps. I reached the 100,000 views, thanks everybody and especially picmonkey for putting me on their front page a little while ago, that really helped. 

 

update

Hi guys,
woah who's that?! Don't be afraid, it's just me the person who vanished from the Internet, and probably will disapear again.
It's been a while since my last post, and in that time happened some things. I have been incredibly busy with a project for school. It was a major project in which I invested 75 hours, it was a project about photography. I made my own camera and darkroom supplies (including the chemicals) from very common stuff, like instant coffee and ducttape. If you'd like to know more about this click the like to see more button.
here is a photo I made with my self build (pinhole) camera.

But that project was finished weeks ago. Right now it's winter, or at least it should be, where I live there hasn't been a single snowflake nor daytime freezing. We had the warmest December since ever. But I'm not that much into cold weather anyways so I'm not sad or anything. hehe. I have been to Keulen and Bonn in Germany. That was awesome. Although life can be busy I am happy. I noticed that doing nothing doesn't yield happieness. I was longing for having nothing on my to do list, but when that time came it was just empty. One or two days off are great but if I have longer vacations I really need to keep myself active. But whatever. I wasn't unhappy or something just a bit bored.
Well I guess I'll continue being busy learning for my exams for now.

bye,
Gemma
