Yesturday afternoon it was rainy, dark clouds, the whole 9 yards and I thought what a great day to get out and shoot some of the weather along with some scenes downtown that just ooz gloomynessocity (yeah I made that up on the spot..go ahead and use it I dont mind) so out I went, heading downtown.

But by the time I got down there, the clouds moved out the sun was nice and bright. On any other day I would have liked it, but not today so while wondering around I stopped by the ballpark's souvenir store and while browsing, the cashier said I could go ahead and walk into the ball park as long as I didnt do anything I felt I shouldnt do (:D).

So I walked out and took a long stroll to left field and snapped this, although pleased with the outcome I still wanted a dark and gloomy feel to it...so I gave it one.

Excellent Treatment...

Sort of like a peek into the heart of those teams that don't have a prayer of succeeding this season...

Part ONE: Opened in Lightroom and switched to B&W.
---Lowered the luminesence for the greens to make them appear darker in the B&W
---Did the same for the blues
Part TWO: Sent from Lightroom to PS 7
---Curves adjustment (Sky yellow midtones purple0ish etc etc)
---Selective color-Black- and moved the bottom bar to the right until the look I wanted (this will daken the colors a bit)
---Added some of my favorite textres to the sky at various blending modes
---Made a photo of crows flying into a brush and added them in that way
---Same for the crows shadows on the field.
---Removed the lights on the stadium
---Crop and save

Generally I have an idea of the look and feel I want and go through several changes throughout the process. I do everything in adjustment layers so as to either adjust them or delete them.
