Happy New Year

I found a fascinating tutorial about creating writing in sand using Photoshop and decided to try my own version.

Happy New Year

The tutorial dealt with a top down version of the text – ie there is no perspective from the viewer leading towards the sea and waves, so my base photo was somewhat different. I also had to modify some of the settings – it just didn’t seem to give enough texture around the letters, but generally I think it is OK. I did a selection of the final word in the sand and used the perspective command to make it appear a little more aligned with the surface of the sand, but even so, I can certainly tell that it is fake.

Still might be a potential buyer out there!

Happy New Year!
