Kauai... the Art that Started it All.

While in Kauai on vacation, I had some time to kill waiting for my wife and our friends to get up. Since I wake up at 6am no matter where in the world Nowell San Diego is, I often have time to play with my computer. These images are extensively altered in Photoshop, using some modification filters from Kodak Digital, notably, Digital SHO and Digital GEM, as well as Test Strip from Vivid Details..

The original image is washed using these filters and becomes almost impressionist in nature. It has rekindled my interest in photography and I hope to publish some of these as greeting cards.  I hope you enjoy them. Remember that the image you are viewing is a low rez JPG. If you want a copy of the hi rez TIF, email me and I'll send it to you. 

This is the series that started the series. Kauai... I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
