Bathing

Posted by Tracey (Maryland, United States) on 8 July 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

As I said yesterday, I am experimenting with different techniques with my photos and trying to step out of my "realism" box that I feel trapped in. I never have considered myself an "artist" so trying to change things to add my own flair is difficult for me.

Anyway, I was trying for a vintage feel here. I made a curves adjustment to blow out some of the white. I changed to b/w using the gradient map and then I added some grain to try and antique it. I liked the final result better than I thought I would.
