Photo Challenge – One-to-Three Photo Processing/Hummingbird Moth

On By TimelessladyIn photo challenges

The weather has turned chilly for April, but I have still spotted some beautiful Cabbage White butterflies. This creates dreams in me of summer winged creatures. One of these is the beautiful Hummingbird Moth. I am using a photo of this unique insect as my One-to-Three Photo Processing reference photo.

I’ve taken many photos of Hummingbird Moths, but it’s rare to capture the beauty of their transparent wings.

I’ve used filters and overlays from Ribbet.com for all of the one-to-three processing.

I like how the Neon filter accentuates the lines and shapes of the photograph. If I were sketching the moth, this process would help me see the shape and segments of its wings.

I used the Posterize filter again this month. It is a favorite for its ability to isolate blocks of color.

The Space overlay gives the photo an otherworldly appearance. Something in the stars and the subdued colors gives the photo a sense of mystery and makes me feel creative, in a literary sense, just by gazing at it.

Thank you to Xingu Mama for hosting this challenge. This post is part of Xingfu Mama’s Photo Challenge One-to-Three Photo Processing.

  5. Hummingbird moths are such amazing creatures. I think the space overlay suits that. I remember the first time I ever saw one: it was dusk and we were puzzled because the humming birds we were used to seeing at Grandma’s were not active at that time of day. In the fading light it took us a while to see the antenna.
