La Quinta Hotel

My idea of an image with a semi-painterly type of effect added to it.

Do you know what immediately came to mind when I saw this Willie? Edward Hopper's paintings. You've pulled this off very well!

Looks like a noon time shot.

It does have that Hopper painterly quality to it...nicely textured.

That's really nice, Jiro.

Thanks, Raylee. I googled Edward Hopper's work and I was really amazed. His paintings are simple and yet have a very definite character and subtle lighting to it. Thank you if I this image reminded you of his work.

More like late afternoon actually, John. I think I shot this around 4:30PM something.

Thanks, Chris. Playing around with some plugins and learning how to use textures right now.

That's really nice, Jiro.

Thank you very much, Mary.

Very nice, Jiro! I love the effect -- and maybe LaQuinta would like to use it as advertising -- The Hopper connection is right on, I think --

I am very glad you like it, Elise. I know that your textured images are quite fascinating and beauty to the eyes here at CiC! I am not pretty sure about showing this to the hotel staff. I'm not fond of promoting my work or myself when it comes to my work. Still, a lot of things to polish up and work on before I could probably be able to sell even a single image!

[mythlady]

Well, you never know how they might react -- aren't there issues around having releases for commercial buildings? I don't know. I just think you did a great job.

Not possible, Yegor. I can't even draw an acceptable straight line with my arthritic hands! This painterly effect was achieved using the basic filter effects in photoshop and some plugin. Thanks for the comment, Yegor.

I shall learn you to draw! If I could photograph how to draw.....

Nice treatment Jiro. I do like seeing building photographs processed in this way. I have found that you can even forgo the textures if you get in close. Just a little heavier than usual manipulation of the tonal curve can do the trick
