August 22, 2015

I have a long road ahead of me in learning my new software, Lightroom 5, but it is good for the grey cells...

There are those that say that post-processing is cheating, but it is amazing what film photographer could in developing.  I actuality, they were far more skillful, working with far less.

The first picture, straight from the camera, is a scene from the past and it is Sixer's Mill, which was taken recently and used for comprison.  The following pictures were taken in 2010.  You can see that the area has been cleaned up.  I think that having the truck and other items added to the scene greatly.






The next picture, from 2010, is a Sepia version.  I had made it a Black and White but it did not make the cut.  I liked what the Sepia adds.  Of course, I am prejudiced because of the truck and etc.



The last picture has been processed to give it a "Notebook" effect.  I know that it is Black and White, but it would look as the previous picture, if it were.  There are different effects in the Filter menu and there a a number of adjustments that can be made, such bolder lines, lighter, or darker.  I noticed that if I made it lighter, it could be used a notepaper and the scene would on what one could write.

I think the I will show what I mean in the next photo, but first I have to process it.  "I'll be back..."



I think more work is needed, but the text speaks for itself.
