~ GET THE HECK OUTTA DODGE ~


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   ~ GET THE HECK OUTTA DODGE ~
~ GET THE HECK OUTTA DODGE ~

What a familiar saying...
At least around here anyway!!!
And I must say...it holds true for me!! Right now I do feel as though..
It's Time To Get The Heck Outta Dodge!
This kind of intimidating sight
can be seen as you drive into
Dodge City Kansas.
Made of steel that a fabulous artist
created is mounted on a wall of rocks.
It's quite impressive!!!
I have converted this to sepia and used several other filters to create
an old time look.
I would probably want to talk nice to get past these fellas!!! LOL!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Good Evening ALL!!!!
Thanks so much for your very encouraging comments and input!!
I so appreciate you ALL!!!!

Yes Lorna...I think I had seen
that a while back also!!
Thanks for stopping in!!

Perhaps I should clarify my thought
in the description....
What I meant was.....
It's Time For Me To Go On Vacation!!!
Not BP!!!! I so love everyone here
that I couldn't possibly leave this site!

The phrase..."It's time to get the heck Outta Dodge" is used alot here in Kansas....mainly to express one's need
to...."Get the Heck AWAY"!!
Hope that clarifies my meaning!!! LOL!

HAVE A GREAT NIGHT ALL!!!!!

  The things we take for granted...like the expression...get outta Dodge...I knew exactly what you meant..and, it's actually in Kansas! This is super, Jeana...and you did great on the conversion...maybe you can return there for a golden sunset. Maybe I need to get into Dodge!

You too Jeana- I wanted to mention too, as a pro photographer and BP instructor, the reason why it works for me is due to what so many miss with composites and Photoshop- you made it look somewhat real with the exposure and the lighting. That was key- well done again!

Jeana Clark
  Thank You again Sean!!!
I must admit...it spent quite a bit of time on this image. I was wanting a much better silhouette of this but I was there at the wrong time of day...I intentioally shot it underexposed to create a later time of day. I then played and played with it until I was pleased with the outcome. I so love sunset silhouette images but could not acheive that here, so I chose another fave of mine which is the conversion to sepia. With the history of the town of Dodge City...(Gunsmoke... etc...LOL..) I felt the sepia filter was the best choice for this shot. I want to also mention that I have made two prints of this image already, so it makes me extra happy to know that you like it as well!!!
I'm including a link to the original so you all can see what I had to work with....~ GET THE HECK OUTTA DODGE ~ original

THANKS AGAIN SEAN!!

on 5/18/2009 6:50:43 PM Well done- it's another reason why knowing exposure can truly help you with your images- even ones partially done in photoshop- not having the right time of day, so you underexposed it- good job.
Hey, they do it in movies all the time, say, showing people surfing at night (done during the day with the blue filter and underexposure).

Congrats again- and have a great week!
