This photo was processed using the Orton effect in Photoshop Elements 6. I adjusted levels which really helped to bring out the colors in the trees. The final product was burned and framed. It is supposed to rain tomorrow which might knock a lot of leaves off of the trees. Fall is finally here. Camera [...]

Looking down the rows of pistachio trees. You might make out the orange orchard in the background. I used the Orton Effect on this photo after adjusting levels. Did some burning around the edges. The Orton Effect almost always works pretty well on trees and grassy areas, it seems. Maybe needed a little more angle [...]
