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 is a killer photo contributed by Marcus Holland-Moritz of a plane wreck in Iceland.

I've changed up the lighting and added a touch more blue to the snow. Parts of the photo were also selectively dodge and burned, cropped and I threw in some haze removal.

Here's a slick image from Andrés Nieto Porras under the CC-SA licence where the original can be found @ www.flickr.com/photos/anieto2k/15756294108/

I enhanced the sky by adding more colour + created of a dreamy effect by blurring selective areas of the clouds. I also neutralised the strong orange + purple colour cast and selectively dodge and burned areas of the photo to give the mountains that extra pop. This image is now free to download under the CC-SA licence!

Originally taken using a Canon EOS Mk2 with the EF24-105mm f/4 lens, this is a stellar example of how you don't need top of the line camera gear to take the most stunning photos.

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!

Had this sudden random mood swing today to give a cityscape photo a futuristic blueish look.

A big thankyou to Mr David Law for sharing this one under the CC-A licence @ www.flickr.com/photos/mrdavidlaw/16668096630/

Changes were made to parts of the warm coloured cast, some part of the buildings were sharpened, saturation adjustments were applied.

I still enjoy the original and recommend that you check it out!

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.

This Landscape toolkit for Lightroom will be released soon as freeware to download from my website!

A big thank you to the contribution of Martin de Lusenet for this photo from www.flickr.com/photos/martindelusenet/13507834553/

I made some changes enhancing those smooth peachy sunset colours and deepening the blues in the water reflection. The OCD in me told me that the image was not 100% horizontal so after using a grid I decided to rotate it by 0.1 of a degree to make it even and added abit of cloud blur to futher enhance that feeling of serenity and calmness I get from viewing this photo.

A nifty remix of the original @ www.flickr.com/photos/mtch3l/14342662340/ by mtch31.

Changed up the lighting in this photo, added a blue colour cast to the sky / water areas, a slight Orton Effect to the greenery and played around with the depth using some dodge / burn techniques. Also did some white noise removal + targeted sharpening in parts of the photo.

Thanks for sharing this one under the CC licence mtch31! Fantastic photo + composition.

Originally located @ www.flickr.com/photos/romanboed/21933709055/ shared under the CC-A licence I immediately loved the subtle path and imagery that this picture brought.

Cudos to Roman Boed for taking this one, I've enhanced the reds in the leaves, dropped a blue filter to the mist, did some lighting adjustments, clone stamped the sticky tape on the light post and threw a slight vignette into it.

This picture free is to use / remix / download as per the rest of my Flickr gallery.

Enjoy!

A big thankyou to Michael Hiresh who's taken this photo of Yosemite and released it under a free licence. You are a legend!

I found a part of the mountains in the original hidden by some haze, I still however wanted to keep this haze to emphasise the distance of the mountains from the viewer's eye. So I've added a slight pop to the image and threw in a blue filter placed onto the mountain area. Really love the reflection of the water in this photo too!

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊

Here's my remixed version of the original which I found @ www.flickr.com/photos/mstable/16902117573/

Was pretty difficult task fixing up some of the shadow areas and the heavy purple coloured cast. What drew me to this photo was the nice composition and the wheel! It just seems like there's a wheel or some rendition of a wheel in every city!

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

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....

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.

There are so many tools in a photographer’s toolkit to convey the mood of an image: position, focal length, aperture, just to name a few. I wanted a very intimate, high key, bokeh-licious image of these varied wildflowers growing on a mountainside in southwest Colorado in the San Juan mountains, so I laid on the ground and used a wide aperture for a shallow depth of field, focusing on the most prominent blooms. I tend to favor my wildflower images in cooler tones, and for this image, also overexposed the image for a high key effect.

Here's a nifty cityscape photo remixed by me.

Dropped a filter in to cut some part of the haze making the buildings pop out more against the twilight sky.

Also tried to enhance the midtones in the buildings to draw more attention to the car light trails, might have failed at that lol.

The original @ www.flickr.com/photos/endogamia/5106492189/ kindly donated to the Creative Commons community by Feans was remixed by adding a slight Haze removal, enhancing the background sunlight colours, changing up the lighting in the grass and touching up a part of the tree.

I really love the catchy colours in this one and how the light gives this photo some crazy depth!

Here's a minimalistic yet super appealing sunset picture taken by Mazzall (www.flickr.com/photos/mazzali/2449050224/).

In this I've added some blur to the clouds and juiced up some part of the sun so you can feel those warming rays. I've also sharpened the foreground and changed up the hue of the dirt to give that colour contrast. Finally I've topped off the product with some noise reduction in the sky.

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

Flickr Friday: Toolkit

Kit for walking in the Lake District, UK: boots, poles, compass, map, torch, camera with spare battery, phone, contact lens carrier, glasses, mini tool kit, pocket knife, emergency blanket, magnifying glass tissues, notebook, pen, whistle. Anorak as the background. Not shown: hat and waterproof trousers, water, lunch.

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. :)

But no time to fix it!
