I love the color of these flags against the dark blue sky. The breeze gave the flags a nice sense of motion as well. I used a circular polarizing filter to darken the sky, then punched up the saturation, and contrast in photoshop. I also cloned out a couple of additional cables which I found to be distracting. Overall I love the colors in this shot. ISO 100 f5.6, 1/500
We took a harbour cruise on an amphibious vehicle on Sunday. While out looking at the sealions and such we saw this tall ship coming into port. I have always loved sailing ships, and especially the old tall ships. When I shot this photo, I knew right away what I wanted to do with it in photoshop, I wanted to make it look like an old time photograph. I think it turned out well. Notice the sailors in the rigging along one of the top yard arms?
