Weekly Post Processing Challenge 12 January 2018


Recommended Posts

Thanks for posting Michael.

All adjustments carried out with LR. First with the Lens correction tool levelled barrel distortion affecting the horizon. Then using around six adjustment brushes carried out selective exposure and colour balance adjustments. At various time during the operation did some individual colour saturation and luminance tweaks.

It bothered me that both the horizon and the end of the ramp were not horizontal, so I started by using "warp" in Photoshop CS5 to try to align them. This left what looks like barrel distortion in the ramp, but I kinda like the effect, so I left it. I cropped the left side, and converted to black and white with sepia toning and a small amount of vignetting.

The problem with the ramp and the horizon may stem from the fact that I shot this photo while leaning over a wall - not the most comfortable of positions. I didn't pay enough attention to the distortion before I posted the image. GC and Glenn, each of you did well in correcting it.

Michael there is no need to worry about things like horizons, they are part of the challenge. A 16mm wide lens is never going to cope with a wide horizon. Is there any chance of indicating the location.......................regards GC.
