Glenn McCreery Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 There are no rules as to how you apply your post processing to this image; but, please let us know what you have done so we can all learn. If you would like to post a candidate image next week, please ensure it is of sufficiently high resolution for manipulation by the participants (3000px on the long side, 300dpi for example). Most of all, let's have fun while we are learning or demonstrating how we use our post-processing software, imaginations and interpretations. This is an old barn in Teton Valley, Idaho. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leslie Reid Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 All edits were in Lightroom: Corrected for the 32mm lens distortion by using a -22 vertical transform (I used the telephone poles to figure out how much to adjust it by)Global adjustments: increased texture and a little bit of clarity; increased white point to brighten it up, and slightly increased overall temperature.Added two gradients, one to warm up and increase white point, clarity, contrast, saturation, and texture in the foreground, and the other to reduce contrast, texture, and clarity in the sky.Then started playing with adjustment brushes: increased texture, white point, exposure, and sharpness on the barn; did something similar with the mountains, but also reduced the black point there; darkened the hills; darkened the sky near the horizon so the mountains would show up more; and cooled down and reduced saturation in the lower right clouds.Then cropped. Then uncropped. Then recropped. Then modified the crop. Then had dinner. Then cropped radically and posted the result. Then considered deleting the upload and recropping. Then decided to leave as is and go have dessert. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuntaColorada Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Great image, Glenn. Top of the Season to you and all observers of this thread. Onward to 2022! A lot of cloning, warping and colourizing to clean things up a bit. I notice the evidence of a fire in the distance (lower R). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuntaColorada Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I wonder if that is a Studebaker back there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn McCreery Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 I wonder if that is a Studebaker back there. [ATTACH=full]1412593[/ATTACH] I never noticed the car before you pointed it out! The car looks to me like maybe a 1949 or 1950 Chevy or Chrysler, but without seeing the grill or trunk emblem I can not tell. Here is an (overly) sharpened enlargement from a 245 x 160 pixel segment of the original image taken with a Canon 5D II (original dimensions 5661 x 3744 pixels). I have half a dozen other photos of the old barn with various zooms showing more or fewer clouds (probably similar to what Leslie was doing with cropping, but in-camera), but no others include the old car. Perhaps in spring, after the snow has melted, I can get a better look at the car, if it is still there (I took the photo in 2015). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sharpened image reveals that the Studebaker design elements that I thought I saw are not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuntaColorada Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I'm a sucker for 'cutout' [ATTACH=full]1412754[/ATTACH] Brings back memories of the 'Paint By Numbers' kits that used oil-based paints and turpentine to clean up. They came complete with 'frame'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
