Dancing with a tambourine around one photo

Going through the archive folders marked "Abkhazia" I found one inconspicuous picture. I photographed early in the morning from the height of one ridge. In the photo, the exit of the Armenian Gorge to the sea. In the common greenery you can not see the river, the road and much more. In addition, an incomprehensible haze was poured into the air. It was not fog, but the air could not be called transparent. The photo was soapy and expressionless.

Перебирая архивные папки с пометкой "Абхазия" я нашёл один неприметный снимок. Фотографировал я рано утром с высоты одного хребта. На фото выход Армянского ущелья к морю. В общей зелени не видно реки, дороги и много чего ещё. Кроме того в воздухе была разлита непонятная дымка. Это не был туман, но и прозрачным воздух назвать было нельзя. Фото получилось мыльным и невыразительным.

And I decided to perform a shaman dance. I wanted to conjure a little over this photo and see what you can get from the initial digital information. To begin with, I made a standard correction to get a clear and bright enough picture.

---

There was a desire to lighten the photo. Of course, you could use one of the presets of the program. There are many of them and they are all different. But I wanted to dance with my hands.

---

The next step in the dance was to separate the color tone. So you could have looked at a photograph taken on an old film.

What is a dance without black and white photography? This is a classic of the genre. In the second version of bw, I added a little black.

---

The latter option is the strangest processing. This is the final feint of my dance. I rebuilt the shades of all the colors and fried the photo a bit. And only then I saw the roof of the house in which we stayed as guests.

I will share this post on Twitter as part of @ocd's #posh (Proof Of SHare) initiative.
