Route 66: Odell, IL
The photograph above was taken in Odell, IL while I was following Route 66 back in August. That's a restored 1953 Winnebago Trailer by the way.
Processing Notes: I opened this single exposure through Adobe Camera Raw making no overly special adjustments. I then applied an antique look to the background to make the trailer stand out and retouched out the edge of the building that was on the left edge of the photo and a few radio towers that where in the background. I wouldn't really say that I'm done with this image since I'm not happy with the antique look yet, but knew I was done working on it for the day, so I thought I'd post the image here.
Hi Ben,
Just letting you know I got onto Xtrain and viewed your HDR session which was interesting. I'm now slowly getting more inspired about the look you can achieve with this new technology.
Fun blog image and fun treatment. You say you are not entirely happy with the antique look - is it a bit too red?
Happy New Year!

Thankyou for a year packed full of information, teaching and inspiration that has undoubtedly improved many a photoshop user's skill level beyond their expectation s during 2007!
