My photo club is hosting its own WWYD challenge. We had 10 black and white base photos to work with. A local gallery is also interested in hosting a show of some of the entries. The gallery owner will select one photo from each of the categories to put on display.
I had processed these stairs and posted them on 365 before, but at that time I kept them in black and white. This time around I cropped the shot in tighter and took it over to the Night Cafe to see what might work with the lines in color. This result reminded me of Disney's Mickey Mouse version of The Sorcerer's Apprentice and the part where all the waves are crashing around a hapless Mickey.
Thank you Kathy, Issi, Diana, Jackie, Haskar, Lou Ann, Katy, and Harry!
@30pics4jackiesdiamond It's really not as inventive as you might think! I cropped the original to make the stairs even more angular, then brought the image over to the Night Cafe Creator website. The "trick" there is to select one of their applications that will work well with your photo. It's not really that difficult- you just have to "match" the style with your own photo. Since the stairs were very linear, I picked out an application that was also based on lines- a wave that was in the style of an illustration rather than a painting, and voila- the computer does all the work of blending the two and I sit back and get all the compliments!
@olivetreeann I think it is interesting that this wave pattern reminds you of Mickey and the flood he had to deal with.
My mind connotation goes directly to the wave pattern and texture of The Great Wave of Mount Kanagawa print. I love how you combined wave patterns with stairs!
Best,

It's listed under the page they call "Style Transfer". Select that and once you upload a picture, you will be able to scroll through all the applications to put on your picture. The trick with this site is choosing a picture that works well with the application- otherwise your photo gets lost in the processing.
@olivetreeann Ann Thank you for the tip. I will check it out to see what images they have. My sister said she uses an app called Snapseed that she said is similar and has filters. You may like that as well.

@sutlivesam l've heard of Snapseed and had it installed in my phone at one point, but I think I ended up taking it back out since I could email my pictures to myself and then photo-process them in this program. I think a lot of people on here use it. Thanks again Sam!
@olivetreeann I would want ease of use and transfer/copy too. I’m going to wind down. I’ll check out your photos in a day or two. I’m working early tomorrow!
Best,
Sam.
