In my post processing of this image my goal was to make it look like a 1930’s style hand painted lithograph postcard.

About Bryan Peterson

My photographs are not always technically correct, I tend to break the rules but I do that knowing what the rules are and having a reason to do so. My photographic images are what and how I see the world around me in my minds eye—they are who I am.

    I’d say you’ve achived your goal with very much success, Bryan. This is so beautiful.
    Wonderfully composed. And the clouds are just amazing.

  • Thanks for the wonderful comments Keld. For the gallery I cropped it down to an 11″×14″ removing the open space to the right which made a little stronger composition—I think.

    I believe you certainly achieved your goal with perfection, Bryan! Fabulous tones! Awesome clouds! The light and shadow and composition are outstanding! I love this!

  • Thank you Lisa—I really love those old paintings and lithos from the 1930’s and it’s a lot of fun trying to reproduce that style of image.

    Such a very beautiful image.
    I love the old color tones.

  • Thank you Geir your comments are much appreciated. I really enjoy the wonderful 1930’s paintings of the west that are still hanging in many of the National Park lodges and until I learn how to paint will have to do my best in photoshop to emulate those wonderful pieces of art.
