Image Processing Toolbox:
Create Digital Photography Art
the Colour Negative Way

Use the image processing toolbox to create digital photography art of living in a rural area.

One way of thinking outside the box in order to produce digital photography art is to imagine the colour opposite of your images. Turn them inside out. This is another example of just what is digital imaging.

As you read on the lead-in page, "Skies will become red. 'Real' reds are now greens and sunsets become sky blues!"

A popular landscape subject for photographers in the Sussex area is this lone tree in a field at Penobsquis. This HDR winter shot was processed through the Colour Negative preset in the curves image processing toolbox within Abobe Photoshop CS3.

Situated in Saint John's downtown heritage area is the 210-foot tall Trinity Church, established in 1783 and still going strong.

The largest of nine balls in the church's bell tower has the inscription: "In Memoriam the Loyalists 1783: Faithful alike to God and the King."

The colour negative process turned the black gate to yellow and deep blue sky to red.

Before and After

Also in the downtown core is King's Square. Among the attractions is the Tilley Monument, which is named for Hon. Sir Samuel Leonard Tilley, one of the Fathers of Confederation. The statue was erected in 1898 by the city following his death.

Weather has had its way with the monument as can be seen here in a closeup of his face.

But when you convert it to colour negative, it gets even more eerie.

The St. Martins-Quaco Head lighthouse is an active aid in navigation in the Bay of Fundy, home to the highest tides in the world. At a height of 38 feet, it contains an automated horn, and, oh yeah, a light. "Quaco" in Mi’kmaq means "Haunt of the Hooded Seal."
