I decided that it had been far too long since I had pulled out the ol’ camera and took some shots. I walked around this morning with my daughter and took a few experimentals. While editing them on my favorite editing software, the GIMP, I accidentally choose the Threshold option. This gives a very stark black and white image. I was impressed with how the stripes on the shirt contrasted the other elements in the composition.
I decided to use the threshold edit and layer it with an alpha mask and a circular gradiant. This pulled in color and gave me a great color and texture contrast. If all this sounds like goobledy gook and you wouldn’t know your GIMP from a lame Pimp, then check out the GMIP tutorials located on the site here. The second part of this tutorial explains the threshold tool and how to use it.
It gives it a very artistic look, it’s definitely great for portraying something that is “old” or “traditional” when you want to convey something from the past.
thanks mate

This picture has interpret the beauty of the strips. I like it.
It is a pretty special photo, i have never seen strips can be set in this manner. Great!
Good idea, and full of imagination!
