These two shots are from inside the Adobe House at Olvera Street. I thought I would post the originals along with the processed.
Why did I take the first set? I was taken by the lightness of the garments and the table cloth and the pitcher. But the light was too harsh. Well, really it was dark in there and I had to use my flash which gave it the harshness. So I...
-added a sepia layer at 50%
-adjusted the levels to deepen the darker tones
-added a frame layer with a slight fade at the edges.
to give it more of the antique feel that I experienced on that day.
It was the pot in the second set that caught my eye. I wanted to focus the shot on it, so I...
-converted it to b&w with a red filter.
-adjusted the levels to deepen the blacks
-added a sepia layer at 75%.
What do you think of the before and afters?
Stats - D200 w/ 28-105mm lens.
