Our Lady of the Lake

Tis a shame that I know how to do stuff, but...what to do is a different story...

Nicely captured, so what comes first, the story or the manipulation?

[chauncey]

It didn't take to long to realize that Pavlovian Conditioning doesn't work with smoke.

Am working on ways to partially guide the smoke rather than having it infiltrate the whole room.
It involves putting the top of the incense stick in a PVC tube and using a low level air filter to pull
the smoke in a lateral direction to maintain a zone of focus.

Anyway, I fire off a hundred or so images, find one that looks like something/anything and go
from there. The only manipulation is doing selections using Threshold and Color Range,
then blending the selections together.

All your work so far are beautifully done, William...I hope you never tire of them as we are looking from this distance.
