Ha Long Bay
Viet Nam 2005
The light in the scene ranged from deep shade to bright sun. I was shooting slides or positives which have less range than film. Photoshop came to the rescue and turned the scene into the fantasy I held in my mind.
I have many plug-ins (software to enhance Photoshop) and I think I used them all when I worked on this photo. You can try plug-ins free…called downloading a demo. I frequently use Nik Filters, both Color Efex 4 and Silver Effects Pro 2. Plus I use Alien Skin’s Exposure 7. A plug-in makes your work go faster and easier and it will give you ideas.
