Anyone who follows my photos will know I love walking on the beach and we’re so lucky here to have so many readily accessible beaches nearby. This was taken on a stormy day back in May when there was a dramatic big surf and stormy sky. The original photo included the top of a small bank where I stood as I was taking the photo, so I cropped that out and then to get the proportions right had to replace the sky with one from another photo taken the same day.
I added a layer of Grosgrain at Overlay 100%, which had it’s colour made slightly less green by using a hue saturation layer.
Then I added a layer of Shagreen bone, at Multiply 85%
The colour was tweaked with a curves layer, then finally there was a levels adjustment to tweak the tone.
Here’s the final layers palette -sorry I always forget to name my layers as I should 🙂
