Spend one day in the area of Venice...
(1) Lido de Jesolo - looking towards the lighthouse
(2) laguna between Venice and Jesolo
-
Lovely, atmospheric photos, but there seem to be halos around the boat driver and the lighthouse, and around some other structures.
-
I am also curious as to the processing technique.
-
Niks color efex, me thinks.

Hi Antony, Jakov and Fons thanks for your visit. Yes, I applied to both pictures what they call the Orton Effect. There are many ways to proceed (in Ps); one of these is to duplicate the original image and to apply to the upper layer a (more or less) Gaussian blur; then, there are different ways to combine he two layers (here I used « embed »). I'm rarely using such PP techniques, but I found that it worked quite well on these, as it corresponds somewhat to my eye twilight vision.

Thank you for sharing the know how and link. I found it a very interesting read and something that I might try in the future. Although my images are already blurry :)

Thank you Jakov :)
A last drink on the nearly abandoned Lido of Jesolo, just before catching my plane, back home:
-
Nice to see different shots from Venice
-
Thank you Armando 😉
-
a good set, 1 and 3 are my favs, i think 2 would work without boat, as the dreamy scene is acceptable unsharp, but the eye tries to get the boat sharp
the last one is Edward Hopper style - great
-
Thank you Thomas. What about this one "without boat" ?
-
without everything...I am not sure... ???
without boat, but the waves left, just cut behind the boat?
-
No, “before”, but I have one without the boat but with the waves left ☺️
