Migraine

Posted by
Doug (Burnham-on-Sea, United Kingdom) on 1 June 2012 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

A submission to my camera club's monthly competition, the theme was funky photoshop filters. My wife decided on the title as she tells me that's how the world looks when she has a migraine !

Canon EOS 500D 1/640 second F/7.1 ISO 100 18 mm

Please excuse me if I don't get to comment people's images some days but I've had to return to a work life rather than become a pensioner as I had planned due cost of living and the tax man wanting a lump of my pension. I am making an effort to return to AM3 after a bit of an absence, it's really nice to see photo's from all contributors and I will try to comment when I can. If I offer criticism I do so only to help and I do not wish to cause offence. My photography tends to be from my travels, as well as my passion which is wildlife and landscape. I hope you enjoy what you see.
Thanks for your comments I'm really grateful for them and welcome constructive feedback.

I know what your wife means, only mine is red. In fact I alleviate some of the pain when I think blue. Great filter!

Excellent processing - I'm sure the cityscape looks like this to many people.

It certainly contains that feeling. 'Hangover' could be an alternative :)

guter Titel, schönes Foto.

so interesting to read other peoples visual symptoms when having a migraine - I have a flickering/strobe light effect in my central vision that makes it hard to focus. I really like the applied filter to this image and good luck in the competition.

Excellent title for this shot, Doug. Sounds like your wife has occular migraines. My wife also gets those on occasion. Nice editing!

Ainsley from Derbyshire, United Kingdom

Fortunately i don't believe I have ever had a migraine and I hope i never do, but this is great insight into how it might feel and look. Great job.

Joyce from Montana, United States

It's funny....I can feel a slight headache either because she is right or because the title is stimulating one. Isn't that curious?. :-) I like this cityscape with the promise of the color and cloud behind balancing it all.

Belle soriée

Only wish mine were as pleasant as this !, please give your wife my regards and sympathy on this curse.

Adela Fonts from Barcelona, Spain

You made me laugh heartily ... Yesterday I was working on something similar ... perhaps with less "migraine". I do not want to contradict your wife but I love ... A hug, Adela

Wow! Great processing! I love the color!

My wife is also a migrane sufferer Doug and she agrees! Well done! ;-)

Fantastic image and color palette...great title too! Love it :)

I so identify with what your wife says, the title is enough to scare me.

Ted from South Wales, United Kingdom

nice apocalyptic look!

Rick from Toronto, Canada

I like this experimental aspect and how it has been given extra meaning (albeit unfortunate) through the link to a migraine.

1 Jun 2012 9:45pm

Jerry from Aberdeen, United States

I hope she meant that as a compliment Doug which I'm sure she did. I have had those nasty migraines and they do seem to suppress colors.

Don Levesque from Saint John, Canada

Nice processing! One way to visualize a migraine.

Michael Fresh from Chester, United Kingdom

I can understand her what she means. The effect is stunning.

Excellent job with these filters and excellent title !!! Great effect ...

Jypyä Pop from Turku, Finland

It is not very bad if it is kind, like in the picture. In fact, those towering clouds are spectacular and highlights a nice way. Migraine is a bad thing. It can not be denied.

Sure is funky and your wife picked a good title

Interesting colours in the sky! Good title...
