Mandarin Orange Monday 21



I am not really interested in cars at all. As long as it works and is fairly small I don't mind what it is I am driving. But I did stop at look at this cute car. Luckily I had my iphone with me. So for MoM 21 I have actually started with a predominantly orange picture. I have made it much more orange... of course. Photoshop has  been my tool again, mostly Topaz and Nik filters.

These are so cool! I especially like the bright colors and pop art feel of the final piece! Is that you in the reflection?

I feel the same way about cars. As long as they run, I'm good.

I clicked by accident before finishing my thought.

I LOVE the cartoony car!!!! What fun finds!

Andrea said...

I was brousing through, loving your orange car. I even marveled at the fact that the car in the background was orange ... then I came to your last picture. How awesome ... I love it and I love that you told how you did it, not that I would be able to duplicate such imaginative art. I don't know what Topaz is. I assume it is in a PS that is higher level that my PSE. I love the effect. This was a treat! Thanks Lori ...

Deepa Gopal Sunil said...

Love the beautiful finished art pic!

Danielle said...

During winter break I need to seriously sit down with Photoshop and learn how to do these techniques....I love each one!

joy said...

LOvely orange cars. I must have one in here to bright up the dark and gloomy winter:)

lorik said...

Thanks for visiting and your comments. It is interesting and often fun to read them. The car is actually a Citroen, a french car, which we don't see all that often in Australia. I have never seen this version of Citroen at all -and orange too! And a lot of fun playing with the image.
Jesh St Germain - it reminds me of the 70's too - of mini mokes - now they were a fun looking car.!

Andrea, Topaz is a set of filters, add ons, for Photoshop. I am experimenting with them and only just learning to use them. The challenge is remembering what I did so I can do that same thing again on purpose, not by accident!

Nature Footstep- yes I agree, must be Mars where i live:)

Danielle, it is worth sitting down and learning to use the techniques - but plan to sit down for a long time -- I get so carried away that time just flies!

Thanks again everyone:))
