Aaarrggghhhh,
(Murphy throws his hands up and laughs) Ok- photo editing wins round one...I played with the magic wand and tried making an average sunset photo, well, interesting. I adjusted several sections of hue, saturation, and lighting...I was going for a 3D type effect. Last night it looked kind of cool (after considerable time investment), put today as I post it here in my blog, it looks yucky!
Back to the drawing board with some more attempts...wish me luck!
**Sigh** Murph
12:15pm Update...I think I've figured part of it out! I played with the 'lighting' too much! I won't be able to fix it with this picture, but maybe I can step it up going forward...(don't change the lighting on multiple planes, don't change the lighting on multiple planes...LOL!)
Don't be so hard on yourself! I like the range of color. Perhaps try to keep the mountain range a different color than the rest so you can see a more clear transitional line between the earth and the sky.
ReplyDeleteLooks better then my first effort. Hint: the smudge tool is your friend ;)
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great first effort Murph! The more you play, the more proficent you'll become. I have been playing around with the tools a bit myself, but I haven't created something yet that I really want to post. I agree that the smudge tool would really help blend the colors together. Good work! :)
