A Sunset In the Shadows

I was messing around with double exposures in Photoshop and came across an old image I took in Quebec City. It was late in the afternoon and the sun was at a pretty low angle. Therefore, the buildings facing west were starting to get shadows on their walls. I thought it might be interesting to add a sunset picture into the shadow... kind of two conflicting images: "Old Historical City" vs. "Surf City". Anyways, I think it came out pretty well... interested to hear what others might think.

"Junk Boating" in Hong Kong

During a visit to Hong Kong last year, some friends took me on a junk boat trip around the area of Sai Kung. I took this image while I was there and then did some post processing work in photoshop.

I wanted to give the image an old time feel... so I added a heavy texture in the background and warped it a bit. It kind of looks like an old photograph you might find buried in a bookshelf somewhere. I also really like how the sky and water colors fade from bright to dark. I was pretty stoked how it came out!

Getting vertigo at the Peak (in Hong Kong).
Wanted to see if I could create a "vertigo effect" for a city scape. I think this came out pretty good!

Getting vertigo on the Arc de Triomphe.
By adding multiple layers in photoshop (and changing opacity settings), I tried to create an image that represented what it might feel like to have vertigo.... thought it came out somewhat interesting.

Red Cactus in Sint Maarten. 

My attempt at creating a "Polaroid-like" image... retro, analog, and a bit over-exposed. I'm not exactly sure why I wanted to do this (especially with an image taken by an expensive SLR camera). I guess I got sick of looking at perfectly crisp/clear photographs. Anyways, I think it came out kind of cool.

The before image is below.
