A great shot. Serenity and tumultuous drama simultaneously.
Thanks Ed, good to hear from you
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks Philip 👋🏼
Yes, the drama queen of the year.
😊
I’ve been noticing when comparing files monitor vs mobile that there’s a significant difference in contrast (not to mention color). It’s hard to make both devices happy, so I just aim for the monitor
Yes and the pictures are always getting darker on the mobile screen.
Yeah, I’m almost afraid to look at anything I post on my phone…
A beautiful, topsy-turvy expression of weather!
(And an interesting conversation with Hans)
That’s a good way to describe it. I’ve gone back and started this one from scratch once or twice and this treatment still seems better than other options. A year from now that will probably change 😅
I know what you mean.
I was noticing the vignetting and how irregular it is – when I studied it, it didn’t seem like the scene would have had that much darkness in those particular places, nor is it a standard vignette, which is more evenly round or oval. I decided that maybe you went in and darkened areas individually, like dodging and burning in the darkroom, with a brush in LR. Now you can tell me I’m totally off the mark. 😉
Whatever the case, it’s very effective.
Happy you think it’s effective 😊
Many years ago my friend Pete quipped that, “a better print can always be made.” At the time, we were scrutinizing a less-than-perfect print of mine. In those days, I’d wanna get it right then and there. Nowadays, I’m ok with letting it be. Or maybe go back and take another look in a year. As Miles Davis said, “do not fear mistakes; there are none.” 😄
…I think those quotes (Pete and Miles) are humorous and they’re useful because there’s some truth to what they said. Clearly mistakes happen, but I’m guessing MD was suggesting we grow from the experience. We all take home images that nail it from the get-go, but there’s others that are a work in progress. Make sense? For me, this one needs to marinate… 😊👋
