Coastal Scenes



I took these shots along I45 as I approaced Galveston Island a couple of weeks ago. I have always liked the view out over the marsh grass looking toward Galveston Bay. This time it was early in the morning and I thought the shots came out a little flat so I pushed the envelope with some post-processing techniques I don't usually use (Photoshop CS3 Color Dodge and Color Burn Blending Modes). I hope I didn't go to far! :-)

Hey Barry-

I think these look great. I don't mind pushing the processing a little far as you know, but I don't think you are in danger of that here.

I think they turned out great.

Thanks Brian I really respect your opinoin on these shots! Let me know if you notice me going over the top with the post-processing!

Hello Steve! It really is a beautiful place to shoot. I plan on going back in the winter and to take roughly the same shot when the marsh grass is golden colored. It should make for a nice contrast to these pics!

Thanks for your comments guys!
