I have to admit, I’m a total noob when it comes to Photoshop. All I’ve been doing with it is mostly to:
1 - Crop,
2 - Sharpen,
3 - Auto Levels, and
4 - De-noise.
Well, today, with a short, simple yet effective tutorial from a friend whom I think is a very very talented photographer / Photoshopper (is that even a valid word?), I had a go at post-processing one of my sunset pictures taken during the firefly watch outing not too long ago. My objective was to make the sky as dramatic as I could without making it look fake. I spent 5 minutes in CS3 and this was the result, again thanks to the tutorial.
Not too bad for a first attempt if I don’t say so myself…LOL. Actually, I got too excited about the results I forgot to watermark the picture, and I’m too lazy to redo everything again. 
So anyways, if U are interested to see more pictures of surreal skies and other beautiful, beautiful pictures, do check out Alexandra Chiam’s Flickr right away. I promise, U will not be disappointed.
