Islands [Canon 5D]

(click in the image for a larger version)
This is a reworking of an image that I posted here about four and a half months ago. In the previous version I treated the color original as a split-toned black and white.
I revisited this because I realized it fit in very nicely with a new group of images I am preparing for the gallery section on my re-designed web site (it's not live yet, but coming soon). That series of images uses a color scheme similar to what you see here: muted natural colors with a strong sepia flavoring that I call sepiaesque. The foreground here has been slightly blurred in Photoshop CS3 using a gradient mask along with the Lens Blur filter. In the first version I posted here I decided that I had blurred it bit too much. I like this version much better. I also like the colors.

New Newsletter!
Beginning in a week or so I will be sending out the first issue of a new email newsletter that will contain Photoshop tips and tutorials, musings on photography and the creative process, and updates on upcoming workshops, seminars and special offers.
This is a low volume mailing that will be sent out approximately every 4 to 6 weeks. For example, the tutorials in the first one are about using Photoshop Actions.The tutorials will not be in the actual email, so you don't have to worry about image-heavy mail cluttering up your bandwidth. A link will be provided where you can view them on my website.
If you would like to subscribe, there's a sign-up form near the top of the left column of this blog. Should you ever wish to unsubscribe in the future, there will be a simple link at the end of each newsletter that will allow you to do this. Your email info will never be shared, bartered or sold to nefarious spammers. I've had a world of trouble with spam myself so I am sensitive to this!
