Ephemeral Coast Dream
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Once again an image taken at the beach of Tylösand. This time at twilight, without the terrific colours of nature we were hoping to get at sunset. That was when man-made light sources (e.g. a 500W searchlight) definitely came in handy. I just love to look at images with flowing water using long shutter speeds. So here’s my contribution to that theme so far. I’ve tried to get some dreamy effect by using gaussian blur in a separate layer with reduced opacity. Is it working? Are there any better techniques to achieve this effect?
I think this is the first image process where I’ve really taken image quality into consideration. Thus, the conversions during process have been RAW to tiff, to psd and to tiff again (and yes, of course to lossy jpeg when converting to TL). All of this obviously in at least 320 dpi. Please tell me if you know if there are any better ways of containing quality.
Post-process for this image consists in curves, levels, vignetting mask, saturation increasement, cleaning, cropping, gaussian blur and some hue adjustments. |

Hi Johan,
A beautiful final result; I love the golden "nuggets" as well as the swirling colors.
All the best,
