IHF's Photo Challenge | From a Distance
This weeks photo challenge is Portraits from a distance. That means no close ups. I immediately thought of this picture. It is of my son and his Grandmother walking down the beach with there footprints behind them. I love this picture! And I hope you do too! Here it is!
I hope you enjoy this shot. See below on post production.
POST PRODUCTION
The original image had beach goers and buildings in the background. I thought it would be great to take out those items and have the focus and our subjects. I use Photoshop CS5 with OnOne Plugins. I opened the image up and did a copy layer to edit from. I adjusted contrast using Curves. Then used OnOne to pop my colors. I then made a new layer to edit the buildings and people out of the back ground. I used the content aware healer to take everything out. Once that was complete, I lassoed the footprints and darkened the contrast to make them pop out from the sand. The I added my custom OnOne boarder and my water mark.
I hope you enjoyed this brief description on how this image was made. And of course the image itself!
Here is the image before the buildings and people were taken out:
