Some of the Apple trees in my parents garden are older than me. But they just keep on producing. This one got about the usual post processing but there was also a texture involved.
Day 72 – Sunflower Grunge
I found myself in the sunflower patch again yesterday but I wanted to get a little creative for a different kind of look. So let’s see if I can remember what I did. First I took it into Color Efex Pro and added a detail extractor, a bleach bypass and a darken/lighten center filter. Then… Continue reading Day 72 – Sunflower Grunge
Day 71 – Red Leaf
We’ve all heard about the harbingers of spring. Well this red leaf makes me thing of a harbinger of autumn. Post processing was as usual.
Day 70 – Vine Maple
I always seem to come back to the macro subjects even when I have been wandering in beautiful landscapes. This one had the usual treatment in Nik CEP.
Day 69 – Rogue River
On my way to Crater Lake yesterday I stopped at the Natural Bridge recreation area where I shot this picture of the Rogue River. This one was a challenge in post processing due to the differential lighting. I started by adjusting the blue luminence in Lightroom which I have learned can sometimes save a blown… Continue reading Day 69 – Rogue River
Day 68 – Leaf with Water
Here’s another one from the leaf walk in the park. Detail, saturation, warmth and a darken/lighten filter added in Nik CEP.
Day 67 – Leaf on Granite
I went for a stroll in the park yesterday and while the trees remain green there are some signs of fall in the leaves on the ground. I liked the idea of keeping the smaller leaf in the lower left as a counter point but I am afraid it leaves too much negative space around… Continue reading Day 67 – Leaf on Granite
DAy 66 – Daisy
Lacking any new captures to work with I decided to just go back to the beginning and see what I could find. These Daisies are long since faded away but I liked the blurry flower in the background. The original was seriously underexposed so I started with a levels adjustment before doing my usual tricks… Continue reading DAy 66 – Daisy
Day 65 – Cherry Tomatoes
The garden is waning but the cherry tomatoes and green peppers are still going strong. Have to love the color wheel opposites in this one and it doesn’t even look like Christmas. Post processing about as usual except no brilliance/warmth needed.
Day 64 – Sunflower
Another trip to the garden to see how the sunflowers are doing. They are doing well. On this one I used the closeup filter. No saturation or warmth needed here but I did add some detail and a center light.
