Challenge: Country Life II (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Nikon D70
Lens: Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR DG IF-ED
Location: Fir Island, Washington
Date: Feb 9, 2006
Aperture: F4
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/160
Galleries: Landscape, Black and White
Date Uploaded: Feb 12, 2006

 Shot a few minutes before sunset to get pink glow on top of mountain while maintaining detail of the church and farm. Although I risk some saying this is slighly blown out it is intentional. I converted to sepia, added a bit if difuse glow effect and then added a bit of pink back in to get that old country feel. Or at least that was the intent!

RSP to convert from RAW; DIP10 to crop and straighten, add sepia effect (Virtual Photog), add diffuse glow set at 0, 2, 2, 20, and save as TIFF; PSE3 to resize and save for web.

This picture reminds me of a print from the dark room... in 1950. It workd perfectly for the challenge. I love it.

Looks like a quaint little town you've captured here! Love the depth of the mountains too. It seems as though the back mountain is a bit bright and the houses are a bit dark. Would there be a way to even them out just a little? Great job! :)

I really like this! Very old country feeling. Nice placement of the bldgs and the mtn in the bg. The second set of hills looks a little green but that might just be my monitor.
