Catching Some Rays (Colorized): 1904
This is the third in my Atlantic City series (and my third colorized photo). The original is here, cropped to fit my monitor: https://www.shorpy.com/node/7662.
It is amazing how time consuming colorizing photos can be. The image took somewhere between 20 and 30 hours to colorize, spread out over a week or so. View full size.
Agreed
I completely agree how long it takes.
My picture of the Gaelic football team took an eternity of painstaking effort. But when people ask me how I do it, and I say I use Photoshop, you can see the look in their eyes of being unimpressed believing that I have somehow opened the file, pressed a button, and hey presto all the right colours appear in the right places.
It is a tedious and concentrationful (I know that's not a real word) task that takes hours and hours of work. But the end result - like yours here - is well worth the effort. At least to aficionados.
This is excellent for only your third effort.
Great job!
Excellent work! That's more detail in a picture than I'd want to try colorizing! Glad to see you have the patience for it! I enjoy all of them.
