Taman Gelora through Photoshop

Yesterday I blogged about a lovely park here in Kuantan named Taman Gelora.

Yesterday I played around with one image from that shoot in Photoshop. Here is the original image:

I think it's a really lovely view

After putting this image through Photoshop, I've been able to create some almost abstract images of the same scene but seen through entirely different eyes. 

The exhibition begins here . . .

1. Sharpened and saturated

2. Sketch

3. Crystallised

4. Pixelated

5. Black and white

6. Inverted colours

7. One colour and black

8. Pop colour

9. Distorted

Which ones have the best effect?

Mini-Malaysian Peacock Tree

It's a hot, sunny, gorgeous afternoon here in Kuantan! Today I'm directing you to my nature blog for some pictures of my Mini-Malaysian Peacock Tree.

I attempted growing a Mini-Malaysian Peacock Tree last year, but it was ultimately unsuccessful. Head over to my nature blog to see the early stages of my second attempt!

Late afternoon walk at Taman Gelora

Yesterday my neighbour Dora decided to go to Taman Gelora for some jogging. Us and another neighbour, Mila, also followed along.

Fidelia and Dora have high blood pressure and are now taking steps to get more exercise. Taman Gelora must be the perfect place to go jogging/walking. There were a good number of people at 5.30pm doing just that. And the best part was, it was all done in virtual silence!

It gave me the opportunity to get snapping the beautiful trees around Taman Gelora as I pushed Leah in the pushchair, stopping now and again to take a photo, and look at how cute Leah was!

Leah smiled every time I stopped to have a look at her!

Absolutely love this scene. Such beauty.

The late afternoon sun makes for a lot of light and shadow - just nice for photographing.
