Figure 1 – Photopictorialism Study #17, “Center Court,” Natick, MA. (c) DE Wolf 2018.

Figure 1, which I entitle “Center Court,” is another of my experiments in photopictorialism. Here the impressionist granularity, or noise, was achieved optically, by shooting the scene as reflected in a picture frame with a diffuse grey background. The image, taken with my IPhone 6, is of the center court region of the local mall. There is actually very little processing: just a bit of highlighting of the bright regions in the background and some subtle antique vignetting, both done for the same region. I am pleased with the dreamy effect.
