Surreal Interpretations

[domenico Foschi]

Like it a lot, Joe.

A thread for images that expand interpretation beyond the original scene. Post images you consider having a surreal interpretation.

This image was taken around 2:30 near Eureka dunes. A texture screen at the film plane was used in an attempt to create a pictorial effect. Did it work? Does the image work?

This is great Joe! Perhaps my only negative is that the grain pattern is a bit sharp but hardly a show stopper. What kind of texture screen did you use if I may ask?

A tracing paper cut to 4x5. I actually have this image without the texture screen and all I have to do is print it. It has all the detail.

thanks everyone

split tone printing, I'm finally able to make some sense out of my image library

I think this definitely gives the "surreal" affect - I like it! I wonder what one of those swirly lenses using this effect would look like....try it out!

Another surreal photo.

RW a small jpeg does not show the nature of the texture very well.

This is one of my favorite images for it's mood and simple composition. This took about 6 hours to dial it in Photoshop CS2 utilizing 9 layers or so.

Image asthetics aside (I do like it, but...) you can't judge an image from a dinky JPG on a monitor. I understand there are limitations on posting images in the forum. But maybe (perhaps you already did this, I haven't waded through all the posts) you could have a link to a higher res version that would be easier to evaluate on a monitor.

All those hours of Photoshop (or wet work for that mater) can be shot to hell by web image hosting.

The piece is presented accurately in the .jpg above from a macro perspective.

I'm in the process of putting a web site together. It is taking some time to finish but should be available by the end of this week.
