A familiar view from one range to another. It’s heading into spring here now (in reverse season land) so not long until all signs of snow are gone…
Hey all, apologies for the online silence recently, loads going on. Hopefully I’ll share more on soon! For now, here’s an image from Scotland that I think slipped through the posting cracks at the time and was never shared. 🙂
I’m working on a new people-based photography project and decided I’d give Skylum’s Portrait Editor a try. New toys are always fun. 😀 Here’s one of the early results. Very pleased with the look given the demanding desert conditions that the tool had to deal with! More soon… and if you want to check out Aperty you can do so here.
This was a tough spot to find! This is a really cool night market in Hong Kong that I visited. I wanted to get a higher perspective so I looked around at all the neighboring buildings. This one wasn’t exactly easy to get into. Photography involves a lot more Breaking & Entering than I expected… anyway this one was made with one of my new presets!
Here’s one from when I visited an old tea house in Chengdu. These are becoming more and more rare with all the modernization in China… This also uses one of the new presets!
On our very first day on my first photo adventure to Africa, this was our first stop! What a wild and amazing place… some of you know that one of my hobbies is geology, so I had a great time trying to figure out how in the world this was possible. I could have looked it up ahead of time, but I like to try to figure it out on my own.
I’ll release some new presets soon! Do you get my newsletter? It’s pretty awesome, if I do say so myself, and I do! Usually that’s where I release stuff first and sometimes exclusively. Anyway, if you want added just email [email protected] with the subject Presets and we’ll sort you out with news… In the last newsletter I asked if people wanted more presets and for which applications. It was actually a 50/50 split of Lightroom and Luminar! I haven’t released any in over two years, so I’m going through the process now of re-organizing and packaging them. Luminar is a little clumsy for installing them. Anyhoo… we’re on the case talking to Skylum to solve that! Here’s one I just finished editing with one of the new presets!
This sunset was captured on Koh Samui. We ventured to the other side from where we were staying to see the fishermen, initially planning to stay by the docks. However, the calm shallow waters just ten minutes away caught my eye, and I spent the next half hour wading knee-deep, observing the boats, fishermen, and oyster-pickers in their element.
On this day we had all sorts of shenanigans trying to stealthily use the tripods and 360 cameras. A successful mission in the end, I think.
