In this shot I'm revisiting some images that I took 4.5 years ago and hopefully treating them in a more subtle way than in my earlier processing.
This is South Stack on Anglesey, timing the exposures to catch the illuminated lighthouse. The Sun was setting into the bank of cloud/mist to the left but I've cropped it out in order to focus the composition on the lighthouse. It did help to provide some warm light on the cliff face.

Sample image showing the effect of this develop preset for Adobe Lightroom, designed specifically for use with Ricoh Theta S equirectangular images.
I felt this attempt at a sunset on East River Mountain had more interest than my previous and thought I'd go ahead and post it at the risk of seeming repetitive.

Crepuscular rays (also known as Sun rays) in atmospheric optics, are rays of sunlight that appear to radiate from the point in the sky where the sun is located. These rays, which stream through gaps in clouds (particularly stratocumulus) or between other objects, are columns of sunlit air separated by darker cloud-shadowed regions. Despite seeming to converge at a point, the rays are in fact near-parallel shafts of sunlight, and their apparent convergence is a perspective effect.

Small mods done to this one.. Corsa exhaust, a small lip up front, carbon fiber wrap here and there.. looks amazing.

~ A quick post for tomorrows HGGT!~
~ This is one from the archives today as felt like a break from wedding photo editing!
A big thank you to Isabelle LaFrance for her free Soulful Inspire Actions. Which I adjusted to my own liking ;-) www.flickr.com/photos/ilafrancephotography/
Thanks also to Princess of Shadows for the texture too.
Has been a better couple of days too thank you.
~ Hope you enjoy. Catch up soon!
The female Northern Cardinal eschews the flambouancy of her mate for a more subtle, but no less lovely, plumage. As my wife likes to say, "She does accessorizing very well."
Topic: Make a photo that you think would work well as computer wallpaper, and try it out for a week!
Here my position will be very conservative. A wallpaper is to look subtle. It's just a background, and its primary function is to make sure your eyes' focus stays on other things. Almost equally important function is to give your eyes and brain something soothing to see. Soft curves, delicate colors in greens and blues.
Technicalities: used the shallowest possible DOF (50mm lens at 1.8). I needed to bump up the saturation and decrease the exposure by almost a full stop (a wallpaper can't be too bright--ergonomics, again). The weather was dull again, so I had to cope with that in postprocessing...

I must say she's really the brain behind all of the ideas, places, poses etc. I'm just capturing the shot
Just as I was leaving the house I noticed the insane red color of the sky... so I knew I missed it, but it's all good. My buddy Shane joined me this morning and we had some good times waiting for the sun.
I was standing in about 6-7 inches of water for the whole time, water was slowly seeping into my boot, and by the time we left i could feel water sloshing around in there! REALLY COLD FEET!
Totally worth it, we are planning on getting out somewhere again tomorrow morning, so that will be fun, maybe I will actually catch the color..
5 exposures shot in RAW+, ended up using the jpegs in photomatix. I have found that tonemapping with the strength and lightsmoothing set to the lower setting, I get more realistic looking HDR images. Like the previous one in the stream.
Thanks for looking!
not a hard, round, obvious bokeh, but rather a soft, blurred-out, blissed-out, bokeh, not unlike the overcast, almost rainy day at the Gardens
Hmmm....made it to #91 on Explore. Imagine that.
I'm always at loss to describe such beauty. And I'm more at a loss for words when I fall into the awe of seeing what became of this beauty upon capture.
I liked the light as it fell on the forest floor and was wondering if the small patch of grass was enough to anchor a wide view of this area?
