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

Hi team!

Here's a landscape lake photo submitted to me by Mr Ephraim which I remixed. The composition of the photo itself looks pretty awesome, it'd be interesting to see how this photo would look with a strong Neutral Density filter attached. I'm picturing that the water would blur to create a pretty sweet effect!

At the time of post processing I was inspired by some vintage photos that I had seen and wanted to give this photo a vintage / cross-processed feel. I used the 50 BW and Vintage Preset Lightroom Presets Kit to change up the feel on this photo I then imported the photo into Photoshop and used the 'Selective Color' tool to individually tweak the primary colors.

Also back to Neutral Density Filters (ND Filter), if you're a photography enthusiast, don't want to spend the money and want to make a 10 stop ND filter for less than $15 I show you how to do it on my website @ www.lennykphotography.com/learn/make-photography-gear/

Much love as always from www.lennykphotography.com

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.

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!

Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.

I don't know how to describe the mood of this picture other than the word 'noir'.

I processed the original by Chris Combe from www.flickr.com/photos/cosmicherb70/15092861213/ to desaturate some of the blue colours leaving some sort of gunmetal grey/blue feel and that Batman Arkham city look to this picture. I've also played around with the saturation in the bridge added blur to the image and some selective dodging and burning to this photo.

Just another retake on an already awesome looking photo!

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!

Hi gang!

Here's a silhoutte photo submitted to me by Mr Schmid for remixing.

I think what makes silhoutte photos so powerful are that the eyes are naturally drawn to the light after acknowledging a certain shape. In this case its the mountains against the sky and in one of my previous photos [here] its the aircraft wing against the sunrise

In this edit, I've juiced up some of the colours of the sky and further darkened the mountain using basic Lightroom tools. The original had alot of noise in the sky, which I attempted to wipe off too.

Give these silhouette photos a try next time you're out and about. Don't forget to drop me a link to your cool silhouette photos a some point so I can check them out too!

Until the next photo, thanks guys for following :)

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!

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.

For Flickr Friday theme "Toolkit"

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.

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.
