A Tale of Two Coastlines

        This is a good example of how you can create a drastically different image, one that can stand on it’s own from the original, by simply manipulating a few of the photo’s basic elements.
         In the second picture, I played around until I was able to make the snow covered rocks in the foreground appear to glow with an eerie but beautiful florescence. I removed some of the color levels, so that the image was much darker, and then jacked up the saturation to...eleven.
         The result is an image that conveys a much different atmosphere than the original. I really dig both of them, but each one says something completely different to me.
         If you look closely at the top photo, you’ll see my house. It’s the only purple one with a few outside lights on. I took this photo during a storm on February 12, 2006.
