Old Town Havana

If you get up early enough, you can beat the crowds that quickly fill the streets of Havana.  What I loved about this scene, was the yellow wall behind the red car.  As promised in my last blog post, I’ve created a video (click the link below) that explains how I created the look for this image using Nik Color Efex Pro 4.0.  Lots more Cuba images to come over the next couple of weeks.

    Great image and wonderful tutorial. I am such a fan of Nik and I like how you take the viewer through the process so easily.

    Beautiful. Really like the verticals and diagonal lines and subject.

    Wonderful image and a great tutorial video. I must take another look at the Monday Morning Filter. I have always passed it over as the effects seem much too extreme for my liking.

    May I suggest that you brighten the lights on the car? Even though they are not turned on I have found this trick helps bring any vehicle to life. This is a subtle change – maybe 1/3 to 1/2 a stop only.

    You have to be up pretty early in Havana to be out before anyone else JB — even when we were out before dawn the streets were busy — when was this???
