No hue/color shift changes, just a boost in saturation at the end.
I didn't get the DOF effect as much as I had wanted on my little Canon G2, so I used the Photoshop CS Lens Blur for the first time. Among other things, it seemed to lighten certain areas, particularily the green foliage more than I liked. So I boosted the saturation.
Well, I went hiking with my daughter this weekend, but didn't have as much luck as I was hoping. This was my best capture for the assignment.
Chumash Pathway
And
This Old House
Hi Davidto,
I like the empty path (#1) .. I love to take shots of empty lanes and have been told there was nothing in the shot to look at but I totally disagree.. I love empty paths..
Nice shot.

I agree with you, Lynn.
The empty path is only empty to those without the gift of imagination.
Those with the gift are able to envision all that might have been on the path before, and all that is yet to come... the possibilities of that path are endless.

Hi Savannah... I like number two... I like number one as well but I'm liking the blur on two (I"m obsessed with blur at the moment).
Thanx. I'm still quite the beginner with PS, trying to learn by ear,(eye) so to speak. That's a gaussian blurred black and white layer at 60% opacity on top of the original. I liked it as well, but thought I might be the only one. I think I may need to take a full-on, no holds barred, bleed my hobby money dry photoshop course one day... Trying to figure it all out seems a bit like deciphering luxury home blueprints in aramaic. (speaking from experience there...lmao) I hope in a future incarnation to be a descendant of Andy's.
Jebus !!! this site started out about 6 months back with a few A.D.D sufferers showing bad pictures of their cats....now we are getting some serious work in.
My pathways
I just got back from Malaysia and got some shots that will qualify for this challenge but i didn't specially make them for it..i hope that's ok? I've seen a lot of good entry's, i really like the one from Pathfinder (what's in a name?) and Ginger's #2!!
Here's mine..

Nicely put Ginette.. my feelings exactly
Cant put this in the assignment as it's not new but I loved this walk
Oh Tim, why'd you have to go and make me homesick. That's my favorite place to go in Washington...ho hum...July will come soon enough. Beautiful picture of a beautiful museum...
re the blurred picture of the ghostly old walk
I like the second one, too. The blurred one with the white overlay, or whatever you call it.
I have liked goldish colors on my pictures, I think I will try for some of that white stuff, too.
I liked it when I first saw it earlier today, before my computer completely crashed.
It has a kind of ghostly quality, without looking cutesy, that is what I think.
I thought for a minute or so that the place was actually fogged or the light was funny or whatever. Maybe really haunted, smile.
I thank you, I am going to try playing with white when the gold doesn't work,
grin.

I get to it. Hey, that is not a bad cat, I get it, it is a bad picture, well I have the "bad" cat, and I can do bad pictures better than just about anyone. A real challenge here. Smile, grin!
Darn, Now I have to put my cat somewhere in this pathway thing. And she doesn't even leave the upstairs. But you all will see her, what else do I have to do besides take really bad pictures of my cat.
I really like the Malaysia shot, too.

Thank you See Moon, I really like your shot, too. I love things like that. And I would have moved the motorcycle and ruined the whole shot, not completely ruined, but certainly not the great shot I think yours is.
And the funny thing is it looks like where I live in South Carolina. Places like that are around here, sitting on land worth a fortune. I am embarrassed photographing them, well, they don't have the motorcycle, nor the path. The people are around, and they stare at me. Often they are kids, elementary school type, and I know they don't want me taking their pictures.
I thought they were going to really yell at me at that cemetery, sitting with an AME Church, and the basket people of this low country. They kept coming over and "reminding" me not to get them in any of the pictures. I didn't plan on it, and I didn't. If I really want one, I will sneak it, but I didn't even want one. This time.
But I was embarrassed, but determined to take those pictures.

Why thankyou Sidney...another cup of lemon tea & maybe some more cucumber sandwich.
They say pollock was out of his tree most days. Ive squashed a disc in my back (the doc has given me the purple ones) & that photo took 7 hours to set up. I will still swear that i was working on the bike the whole time.
Oh dear Humy, sorry bout the disc... bet that hurts a bit..

Thank you, Damon. I actually haven't been inside the Hirshhorn yet. I work across the street and usually go walkin' around the Mall at lunchtime. I'll take a peak inside on the next rainy day.
Oh, My, Fish. Great Idea, wonderfully executed. I like it.

Thanks ginger. and your cat is a cutie!

No, I don't think so. It looks good. You did a good job with the blur.

Tim, terrific shot! Great composition, really get a sense of a low, sweeping ceiling.
