A wetland shore of Pine Island, Florida, captured in sepia landscape.The day before Thanksgiving I was perusing the Silver Efex Pro official product site and discovered there are downloadable custom styles. I was very stoked about this as Silver Efex Pro has me totally in love with black & white photography. All photographs in this post are 7-bracket HDR images processed in Photomatix Pro 3, then adjusted in Color Efex Pro 3, before finally having the newly downloaded "sepia landscape" filter applied to them in Silver Efex Pro. They were all made on Thanksgiving evening.
To me Thanksgiving "feels" like a sepia holiday, thus my choice of the "sepia landscape" filter for this and all the other images.
The owners of these houses are treated to amazing, daily sunsets. Sepia makes them to me seem more like the original Florida houses they imitate.
The mud was soft & deep in this wetland, only those with Goretex shoes (such as msyelf) and nimble paws (such as puppy Kiki) dared trod close to the shore, for a taste.

These pictures remind me of pictures my grandfather took. He was a bird photographer mostly but he took many other pictures when I was a child and these take me back to the 1950s. Very nice.
Thanks Ann. I'd like to see some of your grandfather's photos if you still have them.
The clouds really cooperated with you on that first picture - love that extra touch they add to the beautiful landscape. Sad to say I've never been to Pine island, but I definitely want to fix that based on these shots.
Thanks Joel.....landscape photographers agree with you in that a landscape photograph without clouds is horrible...or rather a cloudless sky is the enemy of landscape photographers.
Pine Island is a nice place, but hardly something to drive 2 hours to get to unless you'd be staying in the area overnight. In middle school my marine biology class took some memorable trips out there, but I Have only sparingly returned to the island in the 20 years following those class trips.
