Scott Kelby is a world renowned Photoshop expert. His company is the largest training service provider in the world. So it’s no surprise that he sponsors this event. On Saturday, October 5, 2013 three photo walks were scheduled in Northeast Ohio. They were located in Downtown Cleveland, Chagrin Falls and University Circle. This event gives area photographers a chance to meet up with each other and create some amazing images. Each photographer is asked to upload one image. This gives everyone a chance to see the results.
Late Friday evening the night before the walk, I registered for the Chagrin Falls, OH walk. All of Northeast Ohio knows Chagrin Falls is very picturesque. That being the case, I still wanted to find something that said Chagrin Falls but took the image beyond the typical shot. One point of interest most everyone knows and photographs is the waterfall behind the “popcorn” shop. There are probably thousands and thousands and thousands of images taken at this particular site. I needed an image that was different.
After walking to the bottom of the staircase, I watched all the cell phone cameras clicking away at the falls. So my image had to be unique. The original image was done to give the falling water a soft lacey appearance. But that just didn’t seem enough. So I added some soft color for enhancement. Give me your thoughts.
