Here's an image submitted by Paul Itkin processed with my Lightroom toolkit.

I don't know what it is about post processing, but I must say that I enjoy it as much (if not more) than the process of taking the photograph. It takes me to that imaginary world where for that split second I can forget that I'm sitting behind a computer screen and live the photo itself. Such a cool feeling that I'd like to share with you

Another free photo for you to download and use as you wish.

Here's a photo edited using a combination of my Lightroom Presets and Photoshop Actions. I think I may have gone overboard post processing this one but here's a quick run down of how it was made.

I imported this photo into Lightroom and applied the Cherry Sunset Sensation preset . This changed up the orangey tones of the sunset to more of a cherry red color and made adjustments to the lighting of the photo. I also manually reduced the clarity to give this photo a softer feel and used split toning to add a slight bluish cast to the shadows.

I then brought the photo into Photoshop and selectively 'dodge and burned' (lighten + darkened) areas of the photo. Many people will do this manually however with landscape photos it may be difficult darkening tree branches, jagged rocks etc. As such I used a technique called 'luminosity masking' (supported in my Photoshop Actions) to automatically select out the darker and lighter parts of the photo so that I could just paint over the mask with my desired light/dark brush affecting only these areas.

And that's it! I know it may sound super confusing or overwhelming but in my future photos I promise I'll go more into these techniques and you'll get the hang of it in no time! :)

As always this photo is free for you to download and play around with as per its CC licence.

Thanks everyone for your support!

Here's a nice juicy Aurora Borealis picture originally taken by Marcelo Quinan and retouched by me.

The original can be found @ www.flickr.com/photos/marceloquinan/16939908572/ .

I ended up changing the foreground snow colouring to remove the greenish cast caused by the lights. I also added some noise removal and selective dodging and burning and sharpening in the snow area just to make it pop from the sky

All this was done using Photoshop Elements 14 + my toolkit available from www.lennykphotography.com.

Thanks for checking this one out stay tuned for more!

Here's a night time photo I edited originally donated by Josh Felise. Thankyou my friend!

I used my Lightroom Landscape toolkit to change up some of the colours in the shadows and highlights and to edit some local adjustments in this image. We can see that a long exposure was used however the stars appear to be blurred.

I'd recommend the use of either high ISO/large aperture + exposure of about 30 seconds to freeze the stars in place or low ISO/small aperture + a super long exposure to form some cool star trails.

Here's a super juicy photo originally taken and processed by photographer Chris Combe of Holy Island in the UK www.flickr.com/photos/cosmicherb70/15064111624/in/datepos....

Made some slight changes on this one by cropping the photo, blurring the clouds and adding a blue filter to the rocks in the foreground

Used my free actions toolkit downloadble from www.lennykphotography.com + Photoshop Elements 14 to edit this one!

Flowers are a toolkit for insects.

Thanks for taking time to comment, fave and look at my work. I really appreciate.

Here's a remixed version of Jack Pease's sunset photo kindly shared under the CC-Attribution licence (www.flickr.com/photos/cathedraljack/17176531265/in/album-...) I changed some of the colors in the sky, removed the sun and used some dodging and burning for the grass and path area and clone stamped some of the artifacts out.

I really love the composition in this photo and have recently been stuck at home playing around with and trying to improve my free to download actions toolkit.

If you have any suggestions or ideas on how I could improve my toolkit I'd be super gracious to hear it.

Thanks all!

Behind door number 2 or Entry Closet is the toolkit tucked away and ready to go in a moments notice.

Great spotted woodpecker

(Dendrocopos major)..Not afraid to make itself heard. The great spotted woodpecker is equipped with a toolkit that makes it a true woodland specialist. Its strong beak and shock-absorbing skull are perfect for finding food and making its home among the trees.

My little tool kit for my finger nails.

It's sadly lost one thing and the bigger clippers have broken. But as it was a gift, I haven't thrown it away - yet .....

We do have a drawer that we keep tools in, but there isn't a lot in it and nothing really worth taking a photo of!

Maybe view large, and thank you for your favourites. :)

June 5, 2024: I got a new camera for my photography toolbox (Ha Ha), the Newland E-700. The problem is that the E-700 is neither analog nor digital—it's just a pretty paperweight. #flickrfriday #toolkit

But no time to fix it!

I have a couple wrist watches. They are powered by batteries. Once a year the batteries wear out. I had been taking them to a local jeweler, however, he is close to retirement. I searched for and bought some tools in order to change the batteries on my own. I figure I have to live about another six years replacing the batteries once a year and the tools will have earned back their cost. Have a fun Flickr Friday. Thanks for any views, faves and comments.
