I wanted to test out my new GoPro, so out to the backyard. First, the foreground was underexposed, so I raised it up in ACR. There was a lot of fine-tuning to get the trees and the bushes to look the way I wanted. In addition, the sky was blown out pretty bad. I wasn't even going to share the photo, but then I thought, "What could be more Slider Sunday than sky replacement" So, I fired up my old copy of Skylum Luminar and found a sky that would work. The masking is incredible considering what it had to start with. There are a few masking problems, and the chromatic aberrations are pretty bad. I like how it turned out. Happy Slider Sunday.

This shot was taken years ago but I have reworked it with Luminar4 and changed it from Day to night.. I am very pleased with how the Luminar 4 replacement of the sky works... My suggestion to those who are interested, make your own skies so they match your area and picture..

One of the benefits of living opposite a forest is that you live opposite a forest. Haven't shot any macro for some time.. was nice to go for a walk :-)

I took the photo of the Souped-Up Cycle in Trumansburg, NY today. It reminded me of The Bat-mobile. Thanks to Gillian Everett for the use of her lovely photo!
