Manipulated Photograph 2 - Sheep

Distorted with Twirl and angle set to -95 then Lens Correction (remve distortion -39)

Inverted Sheep

To get this image I have used PHotoshop CS4 which is what I have at home.   I opened the original photograph which was taken in the recent snow fall.  I selected Filter, Distort, and changed the angle settings to various numbers including -306 which gave a completely distorted image of the sheep in the fore front of the photograph.   I settled on -96 as I like the size that previously mentioned sheep becomes.   The snowy land on which they stand looks curved and the other sheep are still easily identifiable.  The tree at the top left of the picture is curving to the right.   I have not changed the colour of the photograph but I have inverted it which it gives the look of a hand drawn pencil drawing. 


A mistake I (or the computer) keeps making is to save the photographs as PSD files which I cannot upload to this blog.   Also, I am not sure why but when I have uploaded a couple of pictures and then I decide to ADD another and upload I cannot select BROWSE to look for any more pictures.  It's as though the computer says you've got two I can't cope with any more.   So I have on this and other occassions had to create two POSTS of the same things but ensure I UPLOAD the extra pictures I want !  The above final image (inverted) is something I would be attracted in a gallery and would hang on my wall and that to me is what my photography is about.  Would I hang it on my wall? Yes I would.

I then created a new Photoshop document into which I placed the original photograph before any manipulation took place, the distorted photograph and then the final inverted image.   After placing into the document, I added text using the text toolbar and saved the document as a PSD and JPEG.
