I took this shot at sunrise yesterday and thought I’d go a bit crazy with the processing of the shot. I quite like the abstract photo in the end!


In camera raw I only changed the temperature/white balance by 400 as I shot in camera WB of ‘cloudy’. Now in photoshop:
– dublicated the background layer
- Dodged the two planes/lines in the sky
- Added a ‘Color Negative’ curves adjustment layer
— Changed this layer to screen @ 20%
- Made a levels adjustment layer just for this layer
- Added a ‘Cross Process’ curve ajustment layer
—Change this layer to ‘Linear burn’ and you’re all done!!

An icebound walkway at the edge of Lough Errill near Mohill in Co. Leitrim. Picture taken at the same time (and place) as this one.
It’s been quite a cold and dry year so far. There’s been very little rain in Galway since the new year began, and plenty of cold days. I just hope the inevitable rainy days don’t all arrive at once.
