Bsmooth Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Long Hill Image Its an old estate thats been restored, and the grounds are free to wander. Great place for flowers year round, and butterflies as well. Its only about 10 minutes away, and usually not very crowded. Good place to practice and lose yourself for an hour or so. One thing I keep noticing is how light the images look on my PC at work, comapred to my calibrated monitor at home, so as well as the image let me know if its too bright. Sep 13, 2012 at 01:42 PM

sbeme Offline • • • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #4 · Long Hill Image I agree, not too bright. Without looking at the histogram I get an impression of relatively little depth. It may be due to the lighting, to the actual limited variation in tonal range of the greens, or to a processing issue. Sometimes when shadows are opened up in post processing the same look occurs. I would suggest some more processing to darken some of the greens selectively to try to add more depth. Pretty place and one I should perhaps visit. I live closer to the South Shore, but this might be worth the trip. BTW, do you get down to the Arnold Arboretum much? Some additional beautiful landscapes but more crowded.

Bsmooth Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · Long Hill Image Could I ask exactly what you did to get from where I was to the Rusty Bug image? Sep 15, 2012 at 01:43 PM

RustyBug Online • • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #8 · Long Hill Image I tried ... since it was your idea Four main concepts in play for this one: Sharpening Selective Color Selective Saturation Selective Shadows Sharpening for some contrast boost and some detail Selective color to introduce some variation in the greens Selective saturation to push/pull yellow & greens Selective shadows to provide some depth in a few areas. Fairly moderate, but iterative & cumulative ... S&P to taste. Sep 15, 2012 at 01:44 PM

ben egbert Offline • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #9 · Long Hill Image Second attempt, for some reason the first was too large after I saved and processed it. I opened this as a raw file in CS6 and did all changes there. I reduced exposure, fixed white and highlights, opened up shadows, added some contrast and vibrance. I would usually do more in photoshop but I won't be able to beat Kents version, so I just wanted to show what ACR6 could do during raw conversion. I am more of a global corrections guy.
