0x9aF7···E2D6When creating the digital version of 'The Trident and the River Styx.' I would need a digital camera that would be able to capture the pure essence of the wood like never before. In my heart, I knew only one light in the universe could match the power to turn wood color into gold. The answer was the sun. Yet, I needed the perfect time to do it; for many days and nights, the sun hasn't been shining due to windy conditions and clouds. But on March 10th, the day before my birthday. The sun gleamed like never before. Shining onto the painting like I havw envisioned, illuminating the surface, converging into gold. I was able to capture multiple images and tried to figure out a great master to enhance. Something in my heart, my intuition told me to turn the painting upwards and have it facing the sun from a slight angle. Looking through the camera viewfinder, I noticed how the wood looked like pure liquid gold. I snapped the picture, then brought it to my editing station for final processing. Knowing I bring physical art into the digital world. I am never just taking a picture and uploading. I always use three or more softwares to digital enhance or capture my physicals for digital conversion.
