Went this this small, little known park here in Ohio this morning and was met with this simply gorgeous idyllic spot. I don't think I did the place justice, to be honest.

Nice Jordan! That just means you’ll have to keep exploring this area. Where is this? I travel to Cleveland all the time and I need to get out of the city once in a while.

Honestly not trying to do either. The first shot, which is actually in the area just above where the rest are taken, was perhaps the most staggeringly beautiful thing I've seen in my home state. I actually gasped when I saw it. Unfortunately, I was somewhat limited in where I could access for shots, and while I am very pleased with the haul from the day, it was even prettier in person than what's represented here.

This is along Massie's Creek in Cedarville, Ohio, which is southwest of Columbus, so a fair drive from Cleveland.

Luminar: What is your general take on using this PP program?
******************
Jim. Hope you don't mind me jumping in here since I use Luminar a lot. I've been using Aurora since it's first version and Luminar since it came out too (plus the Creative Suite of course) and they've superceded most other software I use for the most part.
I love the many pre-sets and have indeed created many more of my own. Most I doubt I would ever use but they give me ideas on how to process a shot, in fact often I see 2 or 3 styles I'd like to process the same shot in. They are however always just a starting point (and of course no pre-sets are applied on ingress so you can start from your 'base' RAW too).
One interesting ability of the pre-sets (as opposed to those in say LR which I still have and use for all my logo & copyright insertions) is that you can decide on the opacity (or percentage) of the pre-set to apply, so if you like the pre-set but feel it over cooks it slightly then just use the slider in the pre-set box to reduce it's effect).
Of course in Luminar you have many different adjustment 'sliders' too ( I haven't counted but maybe 40-50 and each one can be used in a variety of ways or just brushed in wherever you require) and can apply these how you see fit, I like that they give descriptions and show examples of what each slider can do and that you can actually apply different pre-sets to different sections of the shot, using layers, if you wish and export it to other Creative Suite programs and back again.
Check out my Instagram feed #thedragonsfather (I apologise for the plug !) as 90% of those shots were processed in Luminar (the other 10% in Aurora HDR).
Lofoten. This was only the second time I'd seen the Aurora (first was a couple of days earlier in Reine) and I was (still am) in total awe. This night was insane with the Aurora stretching 180 degrees, horizon to horizon, at times and in three colours. Amazingly the intensity was incredible, and to our great surprise, considering this was taken on 4th September (note the time on the EXIF is Shanghai time so +6 hours).
Sorry but my logo is right there in the middle - hope it's not too distracting ! And no the Aurora doesn't produce flying dragons
