Late Night in New York
Well, it's 3:11 am here in New York and I'm still up working. I just finished getting a few things ready for PhotoPlus which starts in less than 6 hours. Nothing like getting things done early is there?
Before I call it a night, er...morning, I thought I'd throw a post out there. Here's a picture I took with my new Canon Powershot G9 (which I absolutely love by the way) that I took yesterday morning on the flight out of PDX. And no, the pilot had not said that it was safe to turn on approved electronic devices. :-) I saw the sun hit the bottom of the wing from the other side of the plane and had to get the shot. Nothing happened to the plane, so I'm assuming a point-and-shoot camera is safe. :-) (this isn't the first time I've taken a picture during takeoff before the ":approved elevaction")
Here's the before shot straight out of the camera.
I wanted to pull some of the dirt and grime out of the wing though as well as clean up the white balance and get that correct. So I ran it through our soon-to-be-released Photoshop Plug-In, PhotoTools Professional Edition and got this.
The effects I used were Omaha, which reproduces the look from Saving Private Ryan and then I added Kevin Kubota's The Look action. I really like the end result.
