Three Amigos…

Cuba is a wonderful place to photograph and to experience. The people are warm and friendly, there’s dancing, food and fun! Fresh mangos, truly the best dessert in the world. Art, music from the Buena Vista Social Club, horse drawn carriages, antique cars held together by a song and a prayer, Coco taxis, cigars, Cuban rum, and did I mention the mojitos? Beautiful beaches, but that’s tomorrow’s post…

These three amigos have such character, which makes for an interesting picture. I liked the texture, color and detail in the overall image. With this photo, I wanted to create an “illustrative” look similar to what you might get by making a very detailed HDR (High Dynamic Range) image. I achieved this effect using a variety of Photoshop plug-ins, including Lucis Pro.

Adios…
