Johns Hopkins Glacier - old photograph
Jan 30, 2024 09:58:26 #
Taken on an August 2017 Alaska Cruise, the glacier was approximately 2 miles away on a very hazy day so I thought I'd do an old photo effect on it. 2 paper textures, grain, and a scratches layer, as well as several adjustment layers. Then a gradient map of very light blue to light yellow shadow to highlights at 10% opacity, with 2 other elements added using brushes, the small boat on the left and the plane with contrails on the upper left. Thought I'd share.
If you would like, please click on the picture, doing so will link you to the gallery page where the shot can be seen in higher resolution and full page. Thanks for viewing and Have A Blessed Day !!!

I prefer it without the plane. The boats help us understand the scale, though after having seen Mt Rainier in person, I know we can't really understand this kind of size from photographs.
The hazy light adds mystery, the textures support the rugged grandeur. Marvelous work, Dave!

Thank You Linda, I argued with myself about the plane. I've seen the top of Mt. Rainier twice flying into Seattle for cruises, I would love to see it in person. Delighted you enjoyed it !!!

In travels, we see nature's Geo-structures like this and it puts or biggest man-made structures in perspective.
UncleBuck, did you notice the Boar's head far right about 3/4 up? The eye, snout and a couple of tusks are clear.

Gorgeous. You had a fantastic subject; but the processing is first rate and that, in my opinion, makes this more than documentation. Very creative. Well done.
