For those of you who really know me, I am not huge on post processing. I am getting use to LightRoom for 2 reasons. My husband wants to buy it for us, but wont for himself only. Therefore he is really encouraging me to fall in love with it! Reason number 2, I have to do SOME, however limited, post work, to add sharpening and all for the RAW files. Pretty much the basics. On a rare occasion, the image looks worse then the original and I just keep the as is image. But in cases like this, I was able to save the other wise unsaveable! What do I mean? The foreground was pretty much a silhouette. And the image before this, was kind of pinked out due to the Cokin filter. So, with out the filter, I get no foreground and with the grad filter, its all pink! For this image, I played around with the in post processing graduated filter! You can pretty much tell where I did the separation, because of the grouping of trees, but I still think it worked out none the less. I feel like the dark grouping of trees added to the misty rise of the sun.

 

I am not sure this is to peoples liking, but I like it and thats what matters, right? :) What I love the most is the golden rays that are streaming through the foreground. This one, unlike yesterdays similar image, is so golden! And after all, a sunrise should be golden! And that is why I am happy with this, perhaps over processed, processed image. I sure do hope you enjoy!
