Last winter I was on Skyline Drive with Denise Silva (my partner at Road Runner) and we pulled over to shoot these fantastic crepuscular rays of light. For the last couple weeks I have been going through images from this year and decided to see what I could do with this one. The original image was a little noisy due to shooting at ISO 800. The shadows also lacked detail, but what is important are the horizontal lines of the mountain ranges contrasted with the beam of light. I decided that reducing the detail by using Alien Skin Snap Art could help me achieve the desired look I was seeking. While Snap Art gives you plenty of presets, in this case I felt it necessary to do manual adjustments to give a painted look and also achieve the necessary level of detail.
I have taken a class on photo painting and with a lot of time and effort can do some of this by hand in Photoshop, but Snap Art saves a ton of time! If you are interested in a discount on Snap Art, please send me an e-mail.
