Smoky Wave

Mar 20, 2006 00:03

When I was at Chagar Hutang last October, it was dark and gloomy for days and the dawn and dusk light were not cooperating. Luckily, I had big monsoon wave hitting the beach thus enable me to capture the photos below. :)

thats an excellent picture. monochromatic even. =) have you tried printing it out?

kianhong March 20 2006, 04:53:08 UTC

thanks.

If u look closely, it's not entirely monochromatic as there's still a very faint color in it. I duplicated the original and ran it thru gaussian blur, then converted the original to monochrome. Finally, the duplicated-layer was blended to the BW original (30% blend).

Any recommendation for printing in KL?

i know a few places to print. =) how big you want it?

I have about 5.3MP native resolution at my disposal. Plan to up-sample the photo 150% and ran it thru USM to sharpen it. I think the most is about 12x12 inches. I have to go to Ikea to find a square frame first. ;)
