Julio PDN Pics

For this Throw Back Thursday, I decided I would go back to Noon Day Sun which was created on January 26th, 2011. I have a blog post about it here, but I will put the image below. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I made this image, especially since it looks like a nice warm image, and it was created in the dead of winter. I may have made it just to make it (which is what I said in the post) or because it made me feel warm. Anyway, here is the image to refresh your memory. I also decided to make a new image with this as the stock photo. I wanted to create an image depicting the sun as it was in the sky in June, but I also have an idea for that later on, so I made this into a sunrise kind of image.

I was distorting the yellow part first, making it bright and filling up the canvas, then I did the green.

I liked the darker look of it, so I went with it, and here I present the image I titled Murky Swamps Radial Blur, Kaleidoscope, Polar Inversion, Dents, Zoom Blur, and a few other effects were used here, but the biggest thing that gave the image the dark, almost "murky" feel, was the layer blend modes. One was set to Difference (making the image darker), while the other was set to Color Burn (giving the orange color on some of the dents). I may try to make another green image with yell
