Hi Loriann,
What an absolutely beautiful painting! It is an exclamation regarding the joy of life. I cannot answer your digital photo question. I am at the beginning of learning of how to do digital photography.
NJ ART 73
Barrel Distortion? Is that where the camera renders your work as if you painted it on a barrel? If so, that can be corrected simply in Photoshop. Go to filters, to distort, to spherize. The trick is to get the entire image onto the sphere. So your 12X12 image needs to be on a 18X18 canvas (under Image to Canvas Size [not Image Size]). Use the tool to convex the image-- back off the barrel effect-- to normal. Extremely simple--15 seconds tops. Wm
Thanks NJ!!!
Hi William, The barrel distortion I experience only happens on very elongated images. I will try your advice. Thanks!
I don't have the words to describe how beautiful this painting is. It touched me deeply.
Stunning! It looks like the beginning a great day!
The term for this barrel thing is called 'parallax'. It's an annoying effect from a camera lenz, but nice to find an easy solution from William. :)
What a passionate painting!
Three observations:
Whenever I work on any painting for 2 months, my perception of it becomes distorted.
I wouldn't have seen distortion in this photo if you hadn't mentioned it. I'm still not sure I do. As you say, the sky is a sphere.
William's "extremely simple---15 seconds tops" may be a distortion in itself. It would take me much longer than that to figure out his instructions. Steam would come out of my ears.
Wow, Loriann! Absolutely glorious!
Shoot with a lens greater than 50mm (if you shooting with a SLR), I would try a 70mm or longer. If you are using a point and shoot stand as far back as you can and zoom as much as you can. A wide angle lens is what causes distortion. Make sure your lens is aimed at the center of the photo and you are shooting perpendicular to the canvas. Hope that helps!
Wow thanks Janelle. I guess I will add more thinking time. i was ready to go in and attack (again.)
Hi Brenda,I did some work in photoshop, like William said and it helped! It's great to have lots of friends on blog!
Hi Sam,
I understand what you mean. I also see how time makes you move in new directions...at least for me. As far as working with photoshop, the distortion part of filters helped. The thing is learning not to be afraid of messing up...you can always undo or start again.
PS I just reposted the fixed image.
Thanks Donna!
Thanks too Click Mom I will retake the photo!
nicely done!
ok now. THIS is my favorite!
This is beautiful! Great, soft, soft edges.
Thanks John!
Hi Celeste... a new fave? Thanks!
Thank you Pam!
This is stunning, Loriann! These kind of dramatic skies are tough to handle and easy to overdo, but you definitely hit the target with this one. The color is glorious and subtle at the same time... The quality of your mark and handling here have the same ease and brilliance that are so characteristic of your pastels, your work has reached yet another milestone. I just want to sit back and soak this one in. Thank you.
wow thank you Nika! I do have a bit of a flair for the dramatic .....so it's always good to know i didn't go too far. Thank you for noticing the mark. I am trying to free it up as I approach my glazing methods.
Big sky. It breathes, deeply. Stunning.
Really wonderful.
I think I agree with ClickMom to avoid distortion. Carol Marine said that zooming at least a little will eliminate the distortion and it's been working for me.
Wow, thanks Jala!
Hi Dale, I am trying both pieces of advice with my long pieces..the zooming and the "remove distortion" feature in photoshop. It's helping.
Thanks about the painting!
