Trying some new tools and techniques

Today I decided to try some of the techniques that I learned on Monday May 21st at the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Seminar.

 

The seminar was taught by Scott Kelby -Director of Training, KW Computer Training.

 

The first image entiled ” Heading Out”, was taken from Wingaersheek Beach, Gloucester, MA and is towards Annisquam Light.

I did not make any major changes to this image other than some minor tonal adjustments. I did however decide to crop into a panoramic view and sharpened the image in Photoshop. I liked the relationship that developed between the fishing boat and the lighthouse created by removing some of the sky and beach.

The second image, “Motif #1 in Red” was also taken earlier today in Rockport, MA. Other than sharpening, I made all the image adjustments using Photoshop Lightroom. I wanted the focus to be on “Motif #1″, so I decided to “drain all the color, except the red hues. What resulted is what you see here.
