I just recently returned from a four day trip to Long Point Provincial Park. Every May long weekend, we have an infield mentoring session for members of my photo club. Although we preach many landscape shooting techniques, we also mentor members on how to conceptualize idea's .
I'm pretty diligent in spending time daily to do visual research. This is simply done by exposing yourself to many different selections of art. Lately, I have been admiring some great texturize pieces on flickr.
(Check out some of Azazelle's pieces, http://www.flickr.com/photos/azazelle/ ... her work is very inspiring).
It's from these amazing piece that I had formed a mental vision of a majestic tree in a field. I already knew exactly how I wanted to post process the final image, so no surprise when I magically happened to land on this one, by simply turning down a random road.
This particular image is comprised of the base image, two enhancement images (the birds and clouds) and three texture images. By using the layering properties in Photoshop, various blend modes and techniques, I was able to construct this master piece. There may be a few additional versions in the near future, but not straying too far from the original conceptualize idea that once only lived in my head.
