Awash 2
I had a first stab at processing some from this set of images back in November and had the idea that it might be worth putting together a set. Since then, it’s been quite the challenge. There were a lot of images to wade through to find the ones that could make the cut. Getting a consistent tone across all the images is where it ended up being a much bigger task. Changing light conditions & consequent exposure when taking the images will have contributed, but I could not get a pre-set in LR that would fit all the images. Getting consistency meant individual image edits. The ‘look’ of the images ended up being driven partially by what I’d envisioned in the first place, but it was also dictated by Lightroom and the individual adjustments that allowed me to get the consistent tone and feel. Applying the chosen finish also then altered the dynamic of some of the images and meant I no longer liked some of the images that I’d selected to work on originally. This meant gong back over all the images again and again doing partial work-ups and re-assessing. Remind to me not to embark on something like this again. I just hope it was worth the effort. There is another potential set, where conditions were much brighter and gave images with a different feel, but I can’t see me putting the effort in … time will tell!
