Today's photo is one of the most heavily "post processed" shots that I have ever taken. As I was working on the shot and some of the filters in Nik Color Efex 3.0 (I upgraded to 4, but have not yet installed it on my Macbook, it is on my desktop, which is currently in transit to Baltimore!), the solarization filter reminded me of the "Light Channels" posts that I did last year. (If you are interested, please feel free to search for "Light Channels" in the search box).
If you have been to the southern portion of the Riverwalk you have probably seen this tunnel, although it looks nothing like the coloring in the photo (I will probably post an original version of this shot in a few days, just to compare the differences). I managed to retain the original coloring of the path (with the original coloring hue removed, as the light reflected the original color onto the path) while adding the "surreal" look to the tunnel itself. I think it is quite eye-catching, however, I would love to know your thoughts on it too (you can leave them in the comments below, send me an email, etc. as I am just looking for feedback on the shot!).

Please feel free to leave comments and/or feedback below. Also remember that clicking on the photo itself lets you view the image in a variety of sizes by taking you to my online gallery hosted over at smugmug. Thanks for stopping by!
I actually like this!!! You have to click on the picture to appreciate this because just looking at the thumbnail does it no justice. I'm not sure I've come across this tunnel yet so I need to go look for it. Great job!!!
ReplyDeleteYou may have come across it, its actually near the courthouse (a little farther south of it). When I post the picture with the original colors, you might recognize it (or maybe not, as the rock path is kind of memorable too) :)
