Hi Folks:
October 4th already and I just realized this morning that I didn’t do a ‘Photo of the Month’ post for September. Yeesh! So, in the ‘better late than never‘ category…
September’s image wasn’t very hard to choose. I wish I could take credit for the clouds, but someone else gets that honour. It was one of those ‘grab shot’ images; I was downtown and walking along the Inner Harbour and the clouds were just amazing. I made several series of images for panoramas, but this one was the best in my opinion. I use Autopano Pro to combine my images into panoramas and process everything in Lightroom. If anyone’s interested, this image was converted to B&W in Lightroom, and then ‘coloured’ using the split-tone settings of:
Highlights
Hue: 41
Saturation: 23
Balance: +100
Shadows
Hue: 0
Saturation: 0
It’s a sepia effect that I like.
Here’s the image:
Okay, now go out and make some photographs!
Mike.
P.S. I entered this image in the recent ‘Tip Squirrel Lightroom Competition‘. If you want to see the original (before) image and Lightroom-processed (after) image together, you can do so here.
