First forays into Photoshop

Well, I decided to have a go and see if I could figure it out. Using Paintshop Pro 9, as this is the software I currently have and have messed around with in the past. The original image was snapped with my little S200 in the car on the way up from Chester to Wigan.



I liked the rather dramatic sky and the parallel lamp posts, but the signs and car rather detracted from the image. So I patched out the signs and cones and upped the contrast to emphasise the thundery atmosphere. I'm rather pleased with the end result, I'm sure there's a lot more I could do, but it's a start...

the new image is very foreboding with those dark clouds! I like it more than the original though. You might want to get the lamposts a bit more vertical though? x

Yeah I did think that, but unfortunately that's beyond my photoshop ability at the moment! Will come back to it once I'm more confident.
