Too Cold to Swim
The weather conditions were not conducive to good colour photography. So this shot from the Frankland Beaches at the southern end of Lake St Clair made another obvious opportunity to try a little colourisation.
What I am doing here through layering and the application of digital colour toning, is to synthesise how photographic artists worked in the second half of the 19th century. They literally hand coloured their monochrome prints with ink or watercolours. I imagine this is how the scene might have looked had Piguenit decided to colourise one of his photographs instead of painting award winning landscapes in oils.
