Kali asked me to do a de-saturated/low contrast shot, she gave me a link to Lightroom (didn't understand a word of that!) and she said fog would help.
I followed a couple of Affinity tutorials (get me now using the jargon) to change this photo to this one.
I know it's not brilliant and is obviously faked, but it's on the same lines as the foggy sunrises you see of Corfe Castle on t'interweb, which I now realise have been tweaked (or my parlance cheated!!).
Kali as ever a brilliant challenge- I wish I could tell you I now have a better understanding of layers, masks the white and black paintbrush effects and other basics- BUT I hardly swore whilst doing this (hardly but mybe a bit!)
I am seriously impressed. So much so that I think I will try those Affinity Photo tutorials again instead of going back to my comfort zone....Snapseed.
This is beautiful. Well done. Since I started taking more photographs and attending a photo club I realize that I can't believe anything I see. A person could make themselves crazy trying to replicate some of the photos shown.
@graemestevens exactly what I was thinking.
The more you work with post processing the easier it becomes. Same with working with layers, the penny drops and you wonder why you ever had a problem with them
love what you did - so well done. i would certainly absolutely never swear while editing. never in a million trillion years. so that's that sorted. you must have learned so much doing this - there will be no stopping you. i remember being so terrified of photoshop that i would actually gasp when something happened that i wasn't expecting, because i always thought i couldn't sort it out. but i gradually learned more, command z became my friend, and now i can cheerily spend hours in there. @annied encouraged me just to play, as she put it, which i really tried to put into practice!
@kali66 going to have another go tomorrow
