This is a shot or should I say two shots that I took a few weeks ago. One shot is of the water that I underexposed by about two f-stops and made sure that the background was completely out of focus. I properly exposed the spillway and set the shutter speed so that I would get some movement within the water. I knew that I would need to crop the photo to eliminate some unwanted items on both the left and right side of the portion presented.
Camera settings: Nikon D3, 70-200 f/2.8 at 200mm, shot at ISO 200, f/8 and 1/15 of a second on a tripod.
Post Processing:
Lightroom—set white and black point, and added mid-tone contrast, added clarity and vibrance.
Photoshop—combined the two layers and added a curve to darken the water and hue saturation layer to de-saturate the colors, sharpened the spillway layer and added some mid-tone contrast
Larry, isn't digital wonderful? It' a great creation!
ReplyDeleteVery easy on the eyes. Makes you think of lazy thoughts. Like the color combination.
