The View From Paradise Park

This shot has been a bit of an odyssey which has included taking a pano with a point and shoot, stitching it together in CS5, and then repeated trips between CS5, Lightroom 3, Nik Color Effects Pro, and even Nik Siver effects, then back again. I feel like I can still tweak it in several areas, and will be giving this another go when I have some more time this Summer. In the mean time, I really wanted to get the colors in the boardwalk to pop as it had just stopped raining literally minutes before I took the shot. I've wrestled with these colors for over four hours tonight, and I'm ready to hang it up for the day. But I also have a black and white version that I thought was interesting and will probably post in the next few weeks as well. There are two other shots that I've already posted from this night when I dropped everything, ditched my family, and ran like a maniac throughout the Paradise Pier area trying to catch the light with my point and shoot. I believe the correct image provided by Gregg Cooper was "Like a kid running after an ice cream truck."

 

Taken with the Pansonic Lumix LX3.
