California Dreamin’ on a Cold Winter’s Day

The lyrics should go like this …

All the leaves are gone and the sky is really grey, I’ don’t want to walk on a cold winter’s day……

So I thought I would do a little California Dreamin’ on a cold New England’s Day (click for a larger views)

Yellow Dingy

Yellow DingyI just attended a Photoshop CS3 Power Tour from Kelby Training.
The seminar was sold-out and was great as I expected. The seminar was hosted by award winning author Scott Kelby
If you are not familiar with Scott, he is down to earth guy with a great sense of humor. Just a decent guy.

I am self taught in the use of Photoshop and have gain my knowledge primarily from reading Scott’s books and listening to his Podcast. His books are clearly written for all skill levels and also come with a dose of Scott’s welcomed humor.

This the book that is referenced in Scott’s Power Tour –

Scott, along with the other Photoshop guys, has a podcast which you can find at http://www.photoshopusertv.com/ or on itunes and if you want some insight into the latest in Photoshop and Photography related items checkout his blog at http://www.scottkelby.com/.

Now about this image, the photo was captured in Rockport Harbor and what caught my eye was the yellow dingy. I just finished watching a podcast by one of Scott’s fellow National Association of Photoshop Professionals team – Matt Kloskowski.

Matt demonstrated how to achieve this effect totally in Adobe Lightroom.

You can read more at Matt’s Blog or Scott’s link.

I think it is a neat effect. Let me know what you think.
