Road To The Past

I really like the feel of this dwindling road. The old truck that’s for sale makes me feel like if I were to drive up the road I would go back in time.

Road to the past

Continuing my digital fine art project, here is my latest work.  I intend to keep posting these to build a collection that will eventually be available for sale on my site. If you want a copy now, you can contact me.

I actually took this last year in 2007.  It’s a side road off of Highway 12 in Washington that leads to a Mount St. Helen’s lookout.  It was not until this last week that I finally got it finished. Alas, time is a fleeting thing.

I used a new effect I made in Photoshop–and plenty of painstaking editing–to finish with a cross between a painting and a photo. It really shows up well in a large print.  If you want to learn more about how it was done, I’ll post more about that soon on my Seim Effects blog.  Have a wonderful day everyone…

About the Author

Glad you're here.

I'm from WA State USA and started studying photography in 97. I started work as a pro (using that word loosely because I sucked) using film at age 16. I learned fast but was not as easy to find training then. Sometimes I beat my head against the wall until I figured stuff out.

As digital dawned I went all in and got to study with masters like Ken Whitmire. In 09 I founded the Pro Photo Show podcast. I started promoting tone-focused editing. When Lightroom arrived, I started developing tools to make editing and workflow better.

20 years of study and photography around the country earned me a Master of Photography (M.Photog) from PPA. I got to see my workshops and tools featured in publications across the industry. Once I even won the prestigious HotOne award for my "EXposed" light and tone workshop.

Wanting something calmer, I moved to Mexico in 2017. It's a land of magical light. I'm here now exploring light and trying to master my weak areas. I make videos of that for my Youtube channel, sharing what I learn. I hope you'll stick around and be part of Light Hunters Tribe... Gavin
