Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed
The second track on David Bowie’s 1969 album Space Oddity.
“Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed” reflected a strong Bob Dylan influence, with its harmonica, edgy guitar sound and snarling vocal. (Wikipedia)
For those of you that are geeks (photoshop-interested), this is the post-processing of this photo:
- Drew a rough circle with a high feather, invert it & darken the corners
- Added a curve layer – gently tweak
- Color balance layer: change midtones, shadows & highlights
- Brightness/contrast layer.
- Added a paper texture. I downloaded my paper texture after a quick image search online (fit to the picture, multiply & play with opacity).
- Added a hue/saturation layer.
- Merged layers & created a copy, then filter-sharpen-unsharp mask.

Thanks. I’ve already started to think about the next post and I’m waiting anxiously for your next move.

I hadn’t thought of it like that, but spinning off each other’s posts is a very interesting idea.

I’ll see if I can come up with a new post this afternoon.

:O) Funny, I have never heard this one before, a very unusual Bowie
. I am interested in seeing the original of the pic to be able to fully appreciate your modifiations – I am not a post-processing expert/geek but I like your outcome…

Memories perhaps of days in Bromley and Englishmen going insane?
