astral Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Very striking. Did the figure sitting on the beach have to be posed, or was it just a bonus? What kind of filter did you have on? or is it electronic processing. Perhaps we need a thread on using filters and their effects, it seems to be a lost art.

The Vulcan Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 The scene is completely authentic. I was dining at a beach front restaurant and watching the clouds gather when the figure appeared. Lucky I guess. The image is a Lightroom/Photoshop colour and contrast manipulation. I have a selection of pre-sets that I play with. Here's the original washed out slide (15 years poor storage) and the subsequent restoration. The submitted image is a play on saturation/colours/curves and a bit of toning. I don't use filters anymore - Photoshop has pretty much made them redundant. I'll employ an ND or Polariser sometime but usually to adjust the exposure rather than create an effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciaphas Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Great photo I really love the brown tone photo feels a lot warmer which I feel is more suited to a beach scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
