Georgia on my mind

I’m currently reading an article about the artist Georgia O’Keefe written by the Australian arts writer, Janine Burke.  Reading about O’Keefe’s work my mind recalls those voluptuous shapes,  sun bleached forms and the deeply sensual reds, purples and greens that re-occur so often in her work.   Inspired, I took my camera and hunted the backyard for similar colours and shapes.

Home comforts

 

I took this photo at a historical village.  It’s the interior of a bark hut from Australia’s early days.  Two old gold prospectors lived here until the early 1900s.  I guess the saying ‘It’s time to hit the sack’ came from sleeping on a bed like this.

Just a hint of colour

This effect is my current top favourite digital effect. It is a digital version of a darkroom effect that Ansel Adams sometimes used to add depth to his photos.  To do it digitally you convert an image to RGB, chose the image with the most contrast then add a hint of colour with the Colorize tool.  You can control the amount of added colour with the Saturation tool.
