How I did it!

POPPIES by Ignatius Maucer

 

I took this picture from the roadside one sunny week-end. I took several photos of the poppies growing wild at the edge of a farmers field.This one was one that I thought I could try out one of Vic’s tutorials on isolating a colour using a facility in photoshop. I don’t recall if I used his notes in the end or if I followed the instructions from elsewhere. Either way, I thought the end results was quite eye catching and it is the only photo I have ever taken that a member of the general public has asked to purchase! I shall add some more detail of how it was achieved when I come across the details again.
