took the kids to Misquamicut Beach in Rhode Island when Hurrican Bill was off shore.. They could not go swimming due to rip tides, but I was able to get a few good shots and they still enjoyed themselves... this was my favorite from the set.
Before - Aperature Priority, F11 forgot to change the ISO, so ISO was at 400.
After: converted in Corel Paintshop Pro x2. Used hue adjustment first, then black/white film effects, clarify, cloning, dodge, burnish. Some sharpening, digital camera noise reduction & blur to smooth it all out. Added a signature & border too.
comments are most welcome!
