Before & after post processing. This 100+ year-old dairy farm barn and concrete silo (Keetch Family) is in the middle of a small town (St. Charles) in SE Idaho that has grown around it over the decades. Although there is very little overall light pollution in this rural area, there is quite a bit of local light pollution from several surrounding home yard lights, making the barn over lit with a mixture of sodium-vapor (yellow-orange) and mercury-vapor (green) light colors. Here are the corrective steps I took:
• Darken & desaturate the barn/silo via yellow channel
• Increased sky contrast (which reveals the
latent colors in the sky)
• Enhanced the Andromeda Galaxy*
• Reduce barn & silo keystone distortion
*The barn is facing the NE sky, so the core of the Milky Way is behind me.
Done with crossword puzzles my Dad has done! He doesn't know yet that I have done this! Won't he be surprized??!! :)
He he, Just to prove that I can take a picture without having to process it! This is straight off the camera - just cropped a little.
I love the editing process the most but this Osteospermum just glowed in the late afternoon sunshine of early Autumn and I think any editing would have detracted from the natural beauty so here it is in all it's naked glory!
I have been playing with my non existing creative skills on this old flower photo from 2014.
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment, and fave my photo.
