 Another one using Goodman's technique of using the texture layer as the background layer. This time it was some deteriorating plaster on a gate down the block from where I work.

Some of you have asked about how I got the colors in these shots. I admit to shamelessly monkeying with the color channels in curves, but most of these shots that I've been posting were taken over the 4th of July weekend, 2008. There was (still is) a huge brushfire north of here, and there was a lot of smoke and ash in the air, so the light was skewed to the yellow side to begin with. Plus, they were taken early in the morning (before 9:00 a.m.).

I love the colors. They give such an acidic feel to it.

It's interesting you mention the smoke...we seek this clean pristine world, and especially in our photos. But it is often the dirty things like pollution, smoke and other such things that brings the most drama and interest to our photos with all the great colors and tones the create. This is a fascinating photo. Despite all the jabber about dirt and drama, I find myself obsessively trying to figure out what is reflecting in the windows. ;-)

Amazing vibrant colors. Looks like a photo rescued from a flood.
