Over in Pt Reyes (CA), they have a lot of foggy mornings. This however was not one of them, in fact I shot the original in late afternoon light. When I looked at the image on the screen, I liked the colors and "grunge" of the floats, but the image itself was lacking drama.
So into Topaz Adjust 4.0 we go. I started with the "Dark-Night" preset, which gave me the mood I was looking for, but nowhere near enough detail. So then working with the various detail sliders I brought out as much detail as I was looking for. Just like what I think I would see on a foggy morning at daybreak.
How many years have these fishing floats served the local fisherman.... Little soldiers ready to head into battle in the water. Good stuff.
So click on the continue link to see the original, I think you'll be impressed with the effect achieved with Topaz Adjust. And, you can leave a comment too if you wish!
