Oh goody! I love these threads about composition and sunsets/sunrises are my favorite times to shoot so I've experienced plenty of challenges to share and learn from. This was my all time favorite sunset and it didn't happen in a preferred travel location - when I got a call to check the sky, I had 10 minutes to get to the only open water area anywhere around, left home with no shoes, wrong lens, no tripod (old age has its issues, worse when excited). But when your hometown sky looks like the sunset scene from Life of Pi, you just go.

There are no foreground possibilities or interesting subjects here which I knew beforehand, so I made up foreground out of dead water lilies and background out of the little island, but the real subject was the sky. Yes, it would be better to have the more interesting elements to work with like I have found in Yosemite and Acadia (our reservoir sure ain't Pfeiffer Beach). My question is, how can you make the most out of very little?

The first has a little LR processing to make up for the fact that I didn't bring a grad filter (and a crop for the metal print I had made) but the second is pretty much SOC since the sun was no longer challenging me. I've never known what else to do with them in PP so I just didn't. I shot till the last light vanished, because I figured if I'd waited 65 years for this one, odds are I won't make it to the next!

I like the combination of color, water and silhouette of the pier.

I figured it out. Kelby's book just did not word it the way I would have.

A tiny tiny bar appears that you can barely read that say photo text. you have to click on it first and then it checks the option...a little backword to me, but it worked.

Thank you for replying.

Yes, I am. I have been to Book Preferences, everywhere.

"photo text" is only grayed out on the Front Page, not the pages within the book. I have not tried it on the Back Page.

"page text" is not grayed out.

I searched the web and all it talks about is putting it on a Page.

I just want to know if anyone has actually put Photo Text on the Front cover page.

In Scott Kelby's book on Lightroom 5 (which is very informative) he mentions that you can place "Photo" text ( not "Page" text) the on the front cover of the book.
It is grayed out under text options on the cover page (but not on the individual pages )

Has anyone been able to do this. Just trying to figure out if it is a flaw in his book or I have not turned something one.

Thanks

I have used Blurb and was very satisfied with thier work. My book was beautiful and it made a very nice gift.

thanks for the answer, as stated above, I dont do this often as I dont move my photos to my usb drive until I am pretty sure I am finished with them.

however, nothing is ever final.

and there are times that I might want to throw another new tool at it just to see what it would do:)

would smart previews work the same as working on a raw image?

I thought about using smart previews, but I shoot mostly in raw and just wondered if I would have the same latitude in working on a photo.

thanks!

I dont do this often enough to worry about it.
I keep my current files on my hard drive until I think I need to move some.

Just sometimes I get a new piece of software and want to to try in on a particular photo.

Just wanted to know if what I came up with would work.
I just dont want to throw hardware at it at this point
and yes I have enough ram.

Thanks and I will consider this.

Thanks for the input. and probably that is the best solution.

I have a desktop,and whether right or wrong, rarely use it anymore as it is not in a convenient location.Unfortunately, I dont have a "nook" downstairs to put it in.


I work mostly on a laptop. so I dont think I can put another drive in it. Which is why I got the USB drive.

I backup my photos on another USB drive.

Again, thanks for the response.

I have searched the forum for an answer, I apologize if this has been answered somewhere.

I recently moved all my photos to an external drive within LightRoom 5. No problem.

I wanted to re-edit a photo.
My catalog is on the local drive.
It appeared to be really really slow when editing the photo.
I assume it is because it is a USB External Drive and its choking on the transfer from that disk?

Anyway, can anyone tell me what a good workflow would be to "pull" a photo off of the external drive and work on it on a local drive. I would think that all I would have to do it create a "temp" folder within LR, move it from the External drive into this folder (within LR) , work on it , move it back?
All within LR.

Thanks for any suggestions.
