Landscaping with Photoshop

Monday, January 17, 2011

Over the weekend we took a drive to Girdwood, a ski resort just outside Anchorage. We didn't ski, we were just looking for an excuse to get out of town, explore, and enjoy our couple hours of sunlight. Along the freeway there are designated photography spots, with amazing views.

I've mentioned before that I use Photoshop to give pictures a little uumph. It really makes all the difference and will take your pictures to the next level. Here's how I would breakdown quality of a picture: 30% camera, 30% lens, 40% post processing (ie Photoshop). I took one of the landscapes from our trip and applied a couple different Coffeeshop Blog actions. The first picture is the original SOOTC (straight out of the camera) shot for you to compare. Which one is your favorite?
