    Thanks – my intention was to blur the skyline, but keep it recognisable enough for people who know the Perth skyline.

    Wonderful capture and post processing! I just read briefly about Vintage Gold, which seems to have a really lovely effect….
    is this tool only in the latest PS functions? I’m using an old version at moment..
    ;))

    Tatum, vintage gold is one of the PhotoShop actions that’s available in the free PhotoShop action bundle mulletgod’s website.
    There’s some other great actions in that bundle too – it’s worth downloading and experimenting with
