Ocean...

Snapseed, Filterstorm, Stackables

 

It all began on a sunny day with a blue sea and a very blue sky. I was along the Basque coast (in the south-west of France) where the light is particularly beautiful.

First, while my photos still have a square format, it was important to pass on this feeling of immensity with a movie format.

And then I wanted to render a feeling of warmth, going to work with Snapseed on the brightness and saturation, going to color more ocher, keeping blue just on the sea and the sky on the horizon.

And so, always with Snapseed, I used the focus effect on the man in the foreground, leaving the woman and her dog in a slight blur.

And still Snapseed with Vintage, to get a very pale sun effect in the center.

The colors were a little pale, I used the Amatorka effect in Filterstorm to restore just a little consistency to my characters.

And finally Stackables, but I can not remember the filter applied, maybe Pastel Clouds...

In summary, from a very colored image, a noisy and bubbling ocean, my idea was to make it a place a little unreal, very hot, and silent.
