Sometimes in a photo there are bits you like and bits that are, well, too distracting. What to do ? Well simply edit it ! And so with a bit of thought this is what I did with this frame. I really liked the interaction between the busker and the girl but the background and surrounding subjects were, to me, a bit too distracting.
What I did…
Scanned the negative and then duplicated the image in photoshop. Applied motion blur to the duplicated image, added a layer mask and using the brush tool painted over sections of the image that I didn’t want blurred. Flattened the image and adjusted the contrast a bit, put a border around it and that’s pretty much it !
Camera: Jelly Camera, Film: Ilford Delta 400.

Hi Kappii…just visited your site for the first time…very nice work…really like the image blur!
Hay Kappi, hows life? haven’t been to your site for awhile. Tell me which version of photoshop are you using?
BTW nice blur on image above, I play with this but can never seem to like the end results.
Hiya ! Thank you
Posting should resume soon ! I moved house during the week and right now settling in. But do have a couple of rolls to develop, once I can get my butt into gear, so will have something up fairly soon.
Hey Kappii…
Waiting for your next post!
I love this! Haven’t stepped into the realm of in-dept post processing yet, but this sure piques my interest!
Thanks for sharing- sure need to spread more of it!
Turned out really good!
