I'm not sure if this is the proper place to show these photographs, but I am so excited about the latest Photoshop tools that I wish to show examples. They are nothing short of magic.
I have uploaded two photographs, the first is as it came out of the camera and the second after being processed in Photoshop. As a Texan, the Alamo is sacred ground. I hope I have done justice to a place that contributed to the birth of Texas.
Anyone who has visited the Alamo in San Antonio knows this photograph has been heavily edited in Photoshop. This was five years in the making. The white balance was changed to reflect my vision of how the Alamo looked in the early morning hours of the final battle. Also, if you have tried to capture this scene without people in view, you know it is virtually impossible. To accomplish this, I arrived at 5:30 am. It was very cold and windy. Also, if you have been there, you would know that I removed many modern items, such as metal posts, cables, a flagpole, and two grassy plots.
Again ... magic
If you are interested, the back story:
The Alamo – Sacred Ground
Around 5:00 A.M. on Sunday, March 6, 1836, General Antonio López de Santa Anna, self-proclaimed “Napoleon of the West,” hurled his army at the battered walls of the Alamo from four directions. Texian gunners stood by their artillery. As about 1,800 assault troops advanced into range, a canister load fired from the Texian’s cannon ripped through the Mexican ranks. Staggered by the concentrated cannon and rifle fire, the Mexican soldiers halted, reformed, and drove forward. Soon, they were past the defensive perimeter. Travis, among the first to die, fell on the north bastion, shot in the head. Abandoning the walls, defenders withdrew to the dim rooms of the Long Barracks. There, some of the bloodiest hand-to-hand fighting occurred. Bowie, too ravaged by illness to rise from his bed, found no pity. He was bayoneted in his bed. The chapel fell last. By dawn, the Mexicans successfully took the Alamo. The assault had lasted no more than ninety minutes. As many as seven defenders survived the battle, but Santa Anna ordered their summary execution. Many historians count Crockett as a member of that hapless contingent, an assertion that still provokes debate in some circles. By eight o’clock, every Alamo fighting man lay dead. Currently, 189 defenders appear on the official list, but ongoing research may increase the final tally to as many as 257.

I so love that shot. Possibly biased, since I have an aluminum canoe. I've been in some "somewhat similar" parts of Florida like that. Great picture.
