The famous Fuzhou umbrellas were discoloured during my visit on 12 Oct 2017 at Yi Jin Fang, Fuzhoou, Fujiang, China. My application of photoshop brought back the brilliant colours of the umbrellas. The added saturated blue sky increased the visual impact for the whole image. My concept is an artistic creation of turning an ordinary image into a contemporary effect . This is my way of altering reality of an image into an extraordinary impact.
During the years of sixties, my favourite of montaging a blue Diazo chrome film on the original image of the colour transparency to create a bas relief effect was the fruitful result of hard work. At present, a click of mouse with proper application of Photoshop, such an effect could be achieved without tears. Perhaps , if such high techs was available in those days, my passion of photography may not be so challenging. Most importantly, the perception and concept of capturing an outstanding image remains as individual. To me, capturing and freezing an image within a split of a second is still the upmost important requirement in photography. I captured this image in Shantou, China on 15 Oct. 2016.
When I set my camera on multiple exposure (triple exposure on the same frame), I did not expect how the end result would appear. I studied the final image, I realised it turn up to be an illusion of the landscape of New Zealand. My original perception was all distorted. If you are an impressionist, I think you will enjoy viewing such an image. (08 07 2013
