thanks for looking

Fabulous work. Excellent DOF. Would love to learn to create this effect if you could share.

this is different from what i've seen from this location, maybe the light, processing, or rather a red filter. stunning light and tones. an excellent photo. 7/7

Beautiful execution in ps. The place in Namibia is photographer's paradise.

I think it is the same tree. Heinz

This is an absolutely wonderful image. I love the POV and post processing. I'd also like to know how you did this. Congrats!

Stunning shot. Minimalistic and beautiful. Great conversion. Thanks for sharing.

Your encouraging comments are much appreciated. thank you.

The method very simply done with curves in the layers palette. I work on Photoshop CS3 and on a PC.

1. Change coloured image to black and what with whatever method you please.

2. Click Ctrl and J to open another layer.

3. call up Curves and then work not on the preset RGB but on each colour individually Red Green Blue. Play around for effect and exaggerate to your liking.

and click Ok

4. Click Ctrl and J again to open another layer.

5 Move this layer below the Curves layer youve just worked on

6 Click on Curves (in the layers palette like before) and repeat the first process.

7 Stop when you like the effect

 

To read about the Lithprinting method, google it.

The Photoshop version was demonstrated to me by the magician Printer, the best in South African, Tony Meintjes of Cape Town. We tried to rescue another picture that had turned out slightly soft, but because we liked the composition and the feel of the image, Tony showed me the PS version of lith printing effect that he had found on the internet. Good Luck.

Excellent work!

Excellent light.

I like the tones and the angle very much.

Powerful. Stark, yet rich. I could go on.

Your supportive comments are most appreciated. Thank you Everyone!
