Cedar Breaks National Monument – Sepia

Posted by on Jul 28, 2011 in Desert, Landscapes, Monochrome | 13 comments

Another angle on Cedar Breaks National Monument, this one in sepia. I loved the colors in the monument – especially during sunset – but monochrome photos tend to bring out the layers and textures in canyons like this. See examples of the color here and here.

This is the third in a series of three posts where I applied radically different treatments to the same photo. (Click here and here to see the first two.)

Processing: I applied the Pioneer Woman action Vintage.

Yellow Flowers II

This is the second in a series of three photos in which I explore different treatments for the same photo of yellow flowers. (Click here for the first photo, a desaturated color version.)

Processing: I did very little to this photo – mostly adjusted curves and applied a black-and-white treatment.

Dead Horse Point State Park at sunset. I chose the sepia toning to bring out the textures of the rock.
