Good morning from a cooler Hastings.
As it is Monday it is time for this awesome challenge by LorikArt. It is a great way to learn about photo editing and just to let the imagination go wild.

So I started off with these two photos from the car show at Meanee yesterday.
The tree photo didn’t really need much editing to get where I wanted.

I can’t remember the filter for this particular photo but it was edited with FX Foto Pro. I wanted some more definition to the tree to make it stand out more against the background so added the Hippie filter.

Which gave me my orange image.
The tower photo had a few more steps.

I first dodged it to make the tower pop out a bit more against the sun behind it.

Then the bright spots filter.

Finally I used the gradient map filter for the orange image.
In Photoshop I then tweaked around with the colour hue and also tweaked the shadows and light so that it stood out a bit more.

For the final image I flipped the tree vertically so that the tower was just a shadow in the background.
This is a lot of fun just playing around and trying different filters and getting to know new apps and editing programs.
Thanks for visiting.
