Fun driving home from Mammoth Mountain, Mammoth Lakes California

What do you get when you combine some photos taken in a speeding car, corrupt digital files, and plenty of photoshop?

You get these.

I've driven to Mammoth a lot. Just love to ski and that mountain rocks. I took these a couple of years ago while my buddy was driving and I was bored. It's a 5 hour drive and after the first two everyone gets a little bored. Till we remember why we are going!

Honestly these pictures were a little flat. And when I opened two of them they were corrupted with that boxish stuff on the lower half. Uncool.

So I used apply image, curves, highlite shadow, gradient, some masking, and these came out. On the funky one in the middle I filled in the sky with a custom jelly brush I made. How to make the brush is in Sept 08 Photoshop User magazine. Something different anyway. They used it to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Feel free to leave a comment on these. I'm not sure these are good, bad, or whatever--but they were fun to make.

Not as much fun as actually skiing on Mammoth Mountain!
