Description

"Only in the fading light do colors fully reveal themselves, colors hidden in the bright of day."

Since clouds seem popular right now, I thought I'd close out the work week with another dramatic sky photo. This sunset shot was taken last Saturday in The Villages, FL, just north of Wildwood (mentioned in yesterday's comments). While the unadjusted shot was dramatic, I did enhance it a bit in Photoshop using a technique I recently learned. You can view a wider angle photo of this sunset and read my tutorial for this technique HERE. I also darkened the photo by duplicating the background layer, changing the layer from Normal to Multiply in the Layers pallete, adjusting it's opacity and then flattening the image again. I hope everyone had a good week and I wish everyone a wonderful weekend! Thank you for stopping by and for your comments on yesterday's image, Greener Pastures.
