I am still a bit absent, haven't had chance yet to catch up properly since our visitors left yesterday.
Thanks for your lovely comments on yesterday's collage. I must go down to the marina to take more photos of the Gillie and Marc sculptures when I get chance.
I have had medical appointments this morning and only just got home.
I had a play with some old photos a couple of weeks ago and turned this photo taken in Sydney into a solarized photo. I am quite pleased with the result.
I will be posting solarized photos for the next couple of days until I am up and running again.
Not able to get out much to take photos as I still have problems with a groin injury which I have had since the beginning of December.
Now having more tests done and physio so hopefully will be up and running again soon. Not ready to be a little old lady yet. ha ha
This is such an interesting process Babs. I love the effect you have produced here. The colour combinations are fabulous. I hope you don't mind if I have a bit of an experiment to see if I can make my program do something similar... It was fascinating to read how this was first discovered and used when film was developed by hand. Cheers Rob
This is a stunner and I lived about a 2 minute walk from here! That HSBC building used to be Coopers & Lybrand and we nicknamed it Gotham City because of the shape! What a super processing and lovely to see the QVB again.
Such a wonderful result and image - I love the effect and colour combinations produced - (I have not heard of solarized photos! shall have to look it up ) As for your health problem - I hope with further investigations will to help ease your pain ! Take care ! Fav
@robz Of course you can give it a go, I love the effect. You never know what you are going to get until you play, so some photos work and some don't. It is quite addictive once you start.
I did this in Photoshop if you have it. Select Filter - Stylize then select Solarize and after that adjust the brightness and contrast to suit. It makes a really interesting effect. I am sure there are other programs that will do solarizing though. Look forward to seeing what you come up with.
@casablanca That is interesting, you were really in the centre of Sydney then. I love the QVB both inside and out.
@pcoulson Thanks Peter. As I am finding it difficulty walking at the moment, I am trying to come up with ideas playing in Photoshop.
@pusspup@ludwigsdiana@pcoulson Hi wylie and Diana. I never think to check if the fav has registered on my photos but since you mention it. I have just looked at it and see that Peter said fav on this photo and I find it hasn't registered, so I guess it must happen a lot.
This reminds me of Las Vegas (although I've never been there!). A very cool effect. I'll have to do some digging and see if something like it is in my program (I don't have PS or LR). I hope you will be feeling better soon- I did not have your problem, but when you can't walk about and do things, it's really hard on the psyche! And, imho, you will never be old Babs!
I think solarizing shots can be quite addictive and I will post them for the next couple of days.
@olivetreeann Thanks Ann. Yes, it is a bit debilitating at the moment trying to get about. I do hope the CT I have on Monday will shed some light on the problem and I have physio on Tuesday which fingers crossed will help.
@maggiemae Done in Photoshop,

@bluemoon it does look futuristic doesn't it.
@ankers70 look forward to see what you come up with
