One photo a day to make the study of subject, composition, and light a part of my daily routine. Along the way, you'll know who I am, what I love, where I am going. Critiques are always welcome. You may contact me at jeremy@winnick.net.
June 27, 2008; Day 56.
Sometimes nature is kind. I awoke early this morning hoping that Concord would be bathed in fog. It didn’t look promising at first but a little patience (and a lot of humidity) paid off. I captured this building in all stages of fogginess and got to pick and choose the amount of fog I wanted. How sweet is that? The building appears to be a little chapel within the city cemetery, but there’s no parking lot and there’s never any activity.
This was originally captured in color and converted to sepia using Photoshop’s color balance. Then I applied the Orton technique to give it some glow.
I also applied the Orton technique to the color version; I like this too.
Raw: Saturation: 25
PS: Unsharp Mask: 20-30-0
PS: Desaturate, then Color Balance: 50 Cyan to Red, -50 Yellow to Blue (muted sepia)
PS: Apply Image: Screen (to overexpose)
PS: Duplicate, then apply Gaussian Blur (40 pixel radius) to the duplicate
PS: Move duplicate back to original, blend the layers (Multiply), and flatten the image
