The Boathouse.
Jul 14, 2016 13:55:22 #
Glen Muick is my latest discovery. I got this shot of a boathouse and I thought I'd put it up for editing. It's a merge of bracketed shots, so there should be lots of data for pushing and pulling. I'll attach a DNG below the JPG.

R.G., thanks for letting me play with this beautiful picture!! I put it through the mill, playing with Impressions 2 and then a few NIK filters.

Not to different from yours, I think. I will see it better after I post it.

I thought it interesting. When I open a DNG file in photoshop the first screen is Camera raw. When I opened your DNG file in photoshop you sliders were set to your last setting you did on your File. This will happen on my files didn't think it would on your files.

When I did the merge I selected Auto-tone. The DNG file presumably keeps a record of those adjustments. You've brought out more detail, especially in the clouds. Thanks for contributing, Jim-Pops.

Glad you enjoyed, Angela. Your treatment perfectly suits the atmosphere of the place. I'll probably be posting more shots of Glen Muick showing the weather when it's less co-operative (but more typical).

Thanks for allowing me to make a evening shot out of your nice photo to see what the area would look like toward the end of the day . Tommy

Glad you liked my interpretation R.G and I'll be looking forward to playing with more of your work!!

Nice job of bringing out the details and making the image come "alive" without giving it that "crunchy" and over processed look.

Thanks for participating, RB. There's a moodiness in the sky and it looks like there might be some rain coming down the glen.

Here's my version R.G. I tried to return the balance from top to bottom. It was important to bring back a natural but cloudy looking sky without it looking to overprocessed. My methods are sheer madness...Processed with Photomatrix, Photoshop Elements with XXL, Topaz Adjust then Topaz DeNoise and back to PSE for a slight sharpen. Overall, seems like I got fair results, but I could not get the choppy water (lower right) to look better. Anyway...was fun to get in some practice. Thanks for the opportunity.

Thanks for joining in, James. That's quite a workflow you've got there
. Your comment about the choppy water left me thinking that I might have used too much anti-ghosting for the merge. Sometimes the softening effect of more blending has quite a desirable effect. I've had that problem before with waves. There might be madness in your method, but the results speak for themselves.
