Before + After: Flare Out

Posted in The Digital Darkroom on Thursday July 15, 2010 | 6 comments

I was going through old photos to use as examples for my actions and textures series and found this sun flare shot taken at the end of June I’d discarded:

I decided it was worth a second chance, so I edited with Patti Brown’s Kaleidoscope overlays and textures. (Seriously LOVE her stuff.)

Recipe:
Supernatural Collection: Sublime Blue II Glow: 45% Overlay
Lite Flare Set: Rainbow Sun Flare: 45% Overlay
Dream Collection: Vertigo: 34% Overlay

Hover over the image to see it compared to the before.

This post was inspired by Pixel Perfect’s Before + After. Head on over there to see great before and after examples from other participants!

     Thank you Faith! I originally rejected this one because I thought the flare wasn’t punchy enough to make an interesting photo. I added a couple of textures to it from Patti Brown’s Kaleidoscope collection and decided to publish it.
