Photo editing – Ritva Sillanmäki Photography

Northern Norway-379 — I played with the editing making it more like a impressionist painting – as it had some of the qualities already

I really likes this image, the mood. It shows this peaceful countryside landscape with these gentle rolling hills that are all dressed up in vibrant wildflowers and lush grasses. In the foreground, you’ve got these clusters of white lady’s lace and purple flowers that are hanging out by two rustic wooden posts, all tied together with a simple strand of wire like they’re holding hands—so cute, right? The hill is a beautiful mix of sunny yellows and fresh greens, creating this gorgeous tapestry of color. And there’s this solitary tree in the background, just chillin’ under a sky that’s brushed with light pink and purple hues. Honestly, the whole scene just radiates a calm, pastoral vibe and really captures that tranquil beauty of nature in full bloom!

What do you think about this post? Should I do more similar posts of not-so-sharp, focused photos?

Original photo, out of focus, but I loved the mood.

Brian recommended this challenge to me, so now I spent few moments playing with my image, during that the time the sunset. Time well spent 🙂 I don’t know, but it is creative fun.

I started with this image I took at Hollola Church – it is rather bland image the light in the window is too strong. Obviously the first would be to convert to B&W and play with contrast and light. It goes without saying that I have adjusted the photo vertically.

The next step is to play with the colors version. I did make it pop 🙂

Then I switched to PhotoShop and added texture to it 🙂

I would not be me if I didn’t have one more to share , playing first in Lightroom with the colors and light, then again switched to PhotoShop to add texture. Blues of the evening…
