Silhouette Mountains

During the government forced lockdown, I entertained myself by editing old photos.  Some I shared and others didn’t make it. One such image I took in March 2016 on the Foothills Parkway of the Smoky Mountains. The new creation sat in my archived photos for five years, but something didn’t quite right right.  It failed to catch my breath.  I tired a second time to improve the original.   

This is the unedited, other than my copyright, photo from 2016. The view is nice, camera settings not so nices.
The change I made is a simple color adjustment. Pixelmator has a few presets. I went with “Classic Films 2” nearly masking the foreground creating silhouettes of the those mountains allowing your eyes to see wide and far to the mountains ridges in the distance. I love the look!

For anyone interested in casting a vote in my latest Battle of the Band, it posted yesterday. Thanks for visiting and for indulging my photo-play share.  Have a wonderful and blessed day, my friends!

 

 

 

 

In memory of Val Kilmer, 65, who passed away yesterday from pneumonia.

Prayers to the Kilmer family.  Val was an amazing actor.  I really liked him in everything we watched but I especially loved the film The Saint and hoped it would turn into a series of movies. Sadly, it didn’t happen. May you rest in peace!

  1. Lovely photographs, and well enhanced. Cathy!

    We liked Val Kilmer from early on. The piece I read only mentioned Top Gun and Batman Forever. I mean, what came to mind for me immediately were Real Genius, Tombstone, Heat, The Doors, Willow, Thunderheart, and Saint. So many others, too. He’s one of my favorites.

    1. Although, we’ve seen both Top Gun flicks his role doesn’t stand out in my memory but he did a fabulous job as Doc Holiday in Tombstone. I think we saw Heat, but I’m entirely sure. I need to watch the trailer to confirm. Did you know that he was a published poet? That’s was unexpected to find out.

    1. I had forgotten he was in Top Gun until I read through his movie titles. He did a fantastic job in Tombstone. Did you see it?
