New Photos Posted to Flickr

Early morning photos in downtown Springfield, Missouri. There was an early morning fog that I couldn’t resist getting up at 4:30 AM for.

How to make this Image:

In Photoshop, first start with a color photo, duplicate the layer, turn the top layer into a b&w using your technique of choice then add a layer mask to the top layer. Using the standard paint brush in various sizes, harshness and flow rates, remove some of the top layer to let the color come through.

I used an HDR shot for this image but you don’t have to. An HDR shot just made the sign and lights more intense.
Enjoy the photos!!
