| View Full Version : Creative interpretations: Westport Harbor DannyRaphael 09-02-2007, 12:35 PM This shot was taken recently by yours truly. :) Thought it had potential for arty manipulations. Westport is a "fishing town" in the state of Washington on the Pacific Ocean, about 50 miles west of Olympia. Have fun... Swampy 09-02-2007, 04:39 PM Danny, a really good shot! You had a nice clear day to catch all that detail in the rigging! Thanks for the play Peter S 09-02-2007, 04:46 PM Very nice picture Danny. Thanks for the chance to work on it. I wish I could take them as good. For anybody interested here is a link to a higher res. version [img=http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/9334/westporthfz5.th.jpg] (http://img65.imageshack.us/my.php?image=westporthfz5.jpg) Peter DannyRaphael 09-02-2007, 06:47 PM Very nice picture Danny...I wish I could take them as good.The trick: Shoot a lot of pics & never show the bad ones! :) Seriously, thank you both of you for your kind words. I liked how this BW interpretation turned out... Janet Petty 09-03-2007, 06:14 AM The trick: Shoot a lot of pics & never show the bad ones! :) I liked how this BW interpretation turned out... Amen to that. But I do find that the "bad" ones sometimes turn out better when they are painted. Gorgeous photo BTW. Me too!!! Love what you did for contrast and lighting. Did you do this in CS3 or with the channel mixer in your previous version? Janet Steve Conway 09-03-2007, 07:18 AM Sure looks like a nice day for everyone to be in port!!! Steve C. cazubi 09-03-2007, 10:27 AM Beautiful shot Danny. There are some very nice versions so far. I used several Lucis Art filters, and then added paper texture. I also used several layers of Trimoon preset watercolor layers in overlay mode for soft color interest. Cathy DannyRaphael 09-03-2007, 11:44 AM Amen to that. But I do find that the "bad" ones sometimes turn out better when they are painted. Indeed. Done that many times. :) "Painting" can very effectively hide/mask photographic blunders. Gorgeous photo BTW...Love what you did for contrast and lighting. Thanks... Did you do this in CS3 or with the channel mixer in your previous version? Still on PS7... See screengrab of Layer's palette. It's based on a nifty (and free) BW plugin from www.Photocamel.com (http://www.Photocamel.com). Signup req'd (free). Some great photowork in the various forums.
