Description
Riding along the clifftops at Telscomb Cliffs near Brighton, UK. I was upstairs on the top of a red double decker bus with the sun setting dead ahead shining right into my window. This capture was originally a quick grab shot (Sony A7r with Zeiss 24-70 FE lens) with lots of sun flare in the image as you might imagine, I could have given up on it. Instead I created the following recipe. In Photoshop I used the clone tool a bit to get the worst flare bits then added four hand picked dark texture files at various opacity and blend modes. Flattened the lot and duplicated that up to a new layer. Next I ran Topaz's new Impression plugin using the Van Gogh preset on the new layer. Lastly dropped the opacity of that layer down to 50% to blend in and masked out a bit so the lettering would be clear then flattened all again for the final image.
