I was too busy to shoot much today. This is just a quick scribble on my son's chalkboard. Day 108 of 365. Copyright 2016 Scott Norris Photography www.scottnorrisphotography.com
I wish I could just push the power button to wake up in the morning. Just push it, wait 30 seconds and be ready to go! Well, I guess that is what coffee does for me, three cups of it, but it works. Day 107 of 365. Copyright 2016 Scott Norris Photography www.scottnorrisphotography.com
Today, while staring at a blank sheet of paper on my desk, trying to write out a to-do list and thoughts about future photo shoots, I had the idea of trying to create something reminiscent of M.C. Escher's work, "Drawing Hands". So much for the lists! It was a very simple setup. Actually, it wasn't really a "setup". Tripod in front of the desk and nothing but existing light. I was really only shooting some test frames to see if I could figure out a good way to proceed. Apparently, whatever I did was the way to do it! I won't bore you with all of the details on the processing for this, but basically I created a base background layer, a shadow later, and a foreground layer with the hands. I then combined all three into a separate layer, created the charcoal look in Topaz Impression, added the result to the background layer, and then lather, rinse and repeat!
