Back to Photography while continuing to develop ….
Time to get back to showing some images of Boston’s North Shore, while continuing to offer some techniques.
As residences of the North Shore know, in the summer getting close to the ocean in some areas along the Beverly to Gloucester coast line is limited to residences only or to members of a specific club. However, in the winter when not too many be willing to venture to these summer gathering spots, an opportunity exist to visit these locations and bring some of the scenes into the camera’s view.
One such spot is Tuck’s Point in Manchester by the Sea Massachusetts.

This image was captured several weeks ago.
Techniques used for the effect were a combination of adjustments, my own and a preset from Adobe Lightroom Killer Tips called Matt’s Nostalgic Effect (1). All adjustments were made using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.
Taking it one step further, I decided to continue developing framing options for use as templates within the Lightroom Print Module. For this image I created a torn edge effect.
Here is a screen capture, from Lightroom, of the same image with the template applied and another with the template opacity reduced, allowing some of the underlying image to bleed through (Click on images for larger view) Note: Grey are around image is my screen capture and not part of image or template.
This template is now saved within the Lightroom Print Module user preferences and available to apply to all the images in my catalog.
If interested, here it is for a 8×10 Portrait applied on a 8 1/2 x 11 paper - Torn Edge Print Template Download
