Well hey then Grundle, you have opened yourself up
If you would please, start with the (nearly) original shot I posted, and do anything you would like to it, to come up with something more interesting and different. I'd like to see what 5 years of digital art schooling can achieve
> Keeping in mind that I was not trying for anything even close to reality, with that shot. I've taken SO many shots of the GG bridge from that vantage point, that a lot of the excitement is gone..... which is probably why, for one of the few X's, in the last many years, I even messed around with the photoshop special effects for this one in the first place.
Way back in the day, I used to play with all kinds of photoshop special effects, and they were all really new and exciting to me. But I burnt out on that stuff a long time ago.
Nowadays, the extent of my photoshopping is typically just to bring back detail, remove noise, fix slight blowouts (thank God for RAW ) etc. In other words, fine adjustments that novices might not even notice.
Peace,
Fish
