Bill, thank you very much
CPO,
Because I thought it was better than the color. To each his own 🙂
Here’s the color version...
Doddy, thank you. Hadn’t thought of that but I can see what you mean.
Thank you all very much. The Gasworks was very cool but we didn’t spend as much time at the market as we would have liked. Definitely be returning.
Went there for the weekend. Excellent weather for this time of year
If you have poems to go along with the photos you may want to look at poetry chapbook publishers. There are some that look for hybrid work. There are also quite a few self publishing options in the poetry world.

Good luck!
I also may want to get someone to help edit and proof. It’s easy to miss the small things!
Yes. It does. It's a cool antique place so some of their items are like set pieces.
Antique place had some old vehicles laying around...
Thanks. I prefer the B&W myself. Trying some practice processing
Learning to process. Usually just do straight B&W
Rab-eye, Kay,
Thank you..didn't mean to stir up another raw vs jpeg debate. For me, I don't believe I would have been able to process neatly as well if it were jpeg. In this less than ideal photo taking situation I was able to capture some photos that otherwise may have been very subpar. Thank you all!
Linda,
Basically I adjusted the shadows, white and black sliders for the desired effect. I did also use the dodge/burn adjustment brush as well. Mostly I used this for practice,as I said, I don't have s lot of experience in processing.
Thank you
I do not do a lot of post processing but I do like the flexibility that RAW files offer. When in Sedona my wife and I took a Pink Jeep tour of the National Forest. It was very four wheel drive, bumpy, rugged and also beautiful. No tripods but the driver would stop on occasion for photo ops. Not a lot of time to compose and very easy to over/under expose so it was very similar to drive by shooting.
The first photo is what I shot, the second was the result of a little bit of straightening and processing in Lightroom. Ended up getting a nice memory shot that, if I had been shooting jpeg only, might have missed.
Thank you all very much. The light was beautiful but also made it difficult to shoot. We were also among the first to arrive and within an hour it was packed.
