Artist's Comments

Taken at the amusement park Tusenfryd outside Oslo, Norway.

My mom got some free tickets from her job so I went there today (how can you not go when you get tickets for free :D?) we took loads of pictures, and loads of rides (the queues goes by faster when you are taking pictures, but this one is not taken from a queue though :XD:).

Post-processing
Turned up exposure a tiny bit, up recovery and up fill light in camera raw.

Did some different edits on the sky and the roller coaster (I know I maybe could have done the masking a tiny bit better, but masking pictures like this perfectly is an awful lot of work, and not especially funny).

The sky:
Turned up the contrast with a black and white layer set to overlay (100%), darkened with a black and white layer set to multiply (100%). And gave the sky a more green/yellowish/blue colour by adjusting the colour channels with curves (turned down the red and blue channel a bit).

The roller coaster:
Lightened pretty much and turned up the contrast with two curves layers.

Yeah, the masking is dragging this picture down. Could be really cool but those edges are too obvious. Use one the 40 other ways to mask in Photoshop and see if it helps. I would use Color Range to mask or just use an adjustment layer and pinpoint the color of the sky and do the inverse for everything else. Should come out with softer edges if nothing else.

Few of the other pictures turned out any good, but maybe I'll upload another one :XD:

Didn't you get some good picture of that wonderful "spider" you didn't like so much by the way :D?
