I went up to Spectacle Lake on Saturday with my new camera. The day started out a bit overcast, but the sun came out later, giving a variety of conditions to try out.
The first set of images I have worked on were all taken of ice at the edge of the lake. (the album is here). One of my favourites is this one…
I was originally attracted to the subtle colours and fractured shapes. I felt it was quite “painterly”. Maybe someone with a better knowledge of art history can tell me who this reminds me of…
The image was quite easy to work on in Photoshop, I emphasized the surface texture and enhanced a few of the sub ice colours. I also evened out the light, as the top left was a bit bright and pulled the eye away from the interesting things happening on the right.
