Red Door
Posted on January 7, 2010 in Architecture, Topaz
St. Mark’s Church in Jim Thorpe, Pa. is a landmark and a very beautiful stone structure on historic Race Street. I love the red doors and arches above the stained glass windows. I originally photographed this with my soft focus filter on the camera and now when I processed it, decided that I didn’t want a soft look. So, I ran the image through Topaz Adjust using the “spicify” filter and after some fooling around in Photoshop, this is the result.
Good Morning, Betsy. Miss you on FB but understand your frustrations. Interesting to go soft then spicify. Sounds like some changes of mind that I encounter every now and them. Whatever you did, it seems to have worked. I really like the enhanced look of the stonework. And, of course, the red door, just jumps off the screen. Nicely seen, captured and processed.
Actually, I need to remember that if I find a scene that I really like, I should photograph it in several different ways …. straight, soft, with the Lensbaby, wide angle, etc. Usually I’m too lazy to change lenses, filters, etc. 🙂 Thanks for your kind comments!
Wow, this image really grabs me. I love the progression from bottom left to upper right. What a subject! Nicely done.
Thank you Bob!
