Photography -Filtered Art

Photography -Filtered Art

Photography as Art: “artistic photography” or “fine art photography” has no universally agreed meaning or definition. That being what it is, my take or interpretation of photography as art is quiet simply that: Art is in the eye of the beholder. What a photographer captures in a photo is Art to them, now the addition of editing or filtering the photos to me is creating a piece of art from a photo. Back in photography class there was an assignment that called for taking a black and white photo and adding highlights with colored pencils.

Photography becomesĀ art when certain controls are applied.

So, a fine art photograph must go beyond the literal representation of a scene or subject. It must deeply express the feelings and vision of the photographer and clearly reveal that it was created by an artist and not by just the camera. Not to get to deep into trying to define art, here are some of my photos that I have cropped, filtered and edited. You know for fun, and they look cool.

Filtered Art

On to some trees. I take a lot of pictures of trees. It’s a strange fascination.

I find that depending on the type of filter it can change the mood of the photo.

On to some ‘Pop Art’

Fun Fact: This is a mural painted on the wall of a bedroom. Not sure why it’s there or how long it’s been there, kind of weird though.

Once again this is the type of content you get when I’m procrastinating and out of ideas. I hope you enjoyed the short trip through my Filtered Art Album.

One more there was an eclipse in August of 2017, I took a photo of the walkway before it started and then during the eclipse.

The solar eclipse of August 21, 2017, dubbed the “Great American Eclipse” by the media, was a total solar eclipse visible within a band that spanned the contiguous United States from the Pacific to the Atlantic coasts. It was also visible as a partial solar eclipse from as far north as Nunavut in northern Canada to as far south as northern South America. In northwestern Europe and Africa, it was partially visible in the late evening. In northeastern Asia, it was partially visible at sunrise.
