All the details are here

https://lensaddiction.wordpress.com/2014/07/06/extending-my-photographic-education-reading-and-researching/Here are a couple of images I took out of my archives and used my new post processing techniques to work on - the fence post was taken in impenetrable fog - had a few metres of visibility at its thickest and the light ( Read more... )

I like both. For the quail, I would crop - the blob of bright colour in the foreground is distracting. (I saw the picture trunkated while scrolling down and thought 'of course I would have bothered... oh').

Its already heavily cropped and I thought about more from the foreground but then you lose the left side of his body visible thru the grass which I like

I can tone down the big grey patch a bit now that I think about it :)

Well _I_ like the results anyway :-)

Cheers - BTW could be up for a seed swap if you like, I have peas and corn...

Not veges I usually eat, but I'm sure I could spare some seeds for you anyway :-)

The quail is lovely, and the fence is ... interesting. Thank you for posting them.

I can work with interesting :)

To me, the fence is very evocative of walking in the Port Hills in the colder months.

It was Feb, a week before the earthquake actually and everyone else had a hot sunny day but we had a very localised cloud bank all morning. It eventually started to burn off as we were leaving. I liked all the mossy bits

Most definitely worth it! I especially like the first one.

I like to find a picture that I would have deleted, but might have one or two good features and save it. I love working on a photo to make it better. I only have Elements 11 to work with, and most work is done through just playing around and trial & error. What software programs are you using?

thebluerose July 6 2014, 21:04:35 UTC

I use Lightroom v 5 for these images. Since I did the Post pro training which takes advantage of new features in V5, my ability to do much more specific local editing has vastly improved :)

If you are serious about photography i recommend the upgrade to LR, its not much more than Elements cost wise and is much more powerful and waaaaay better cataloging
