Blown Highlights

Stuck in a pool of empty space? Not even a thread of an idea running through your head? Well I've got a creative technique to get a new angle on pictures. First, drop your comfort zone... you can shred that barrier and bury it because this "blown" technique is about to blow up.

Since your comfort zone doesn't exist anymore, find any picture that has good lighting. Then open up an editing software. So what you need to do is turn up your exposure, brightness, and highlights to get this abstract look. That's all. No more comfort editing because this... is extreme. 

Admit it, these looks cool. Unusual. Abstract. Flashy. Whacko. Extreme. (original on the left, edited on the right)


















I actually got this creative editing from an article which showed an example of purposefully having extra light in the picture. I would post the link here but apparently a few days after I looked at that article, it wasn't there! So later I found out that the site the article was hosted on (digital-camera-world.com) moved to a new site and changed all it's content. And digital-camera-world was my favorite photography-go-to site of all time! What a tragedy :(
