Habitualized writing.
I’m going back and trying to “improve” pictures that I didn’t think came out very well. Results aren’t always perfect, of course. In addition to Lightroom adjustments, I tried added some graduated blurring and rendered a few cloud overlays to remove pixeling or pixelization or whatever it’s called.
Taken at Greenlake on a cool early spring morning.
My submission for the Daily Post Photo Challenge theme: Forces of Nature. Was brand new to this hand-me-down camera, (and didn’t know the white balance was set to indoor florescent lighting). Dragged my wife to the Mulkiteo Lighthouse to take some shots. Birds everywhere. There was wind, waves, a penetrating cold, and so many birds. They seemed to be constantly moving around… but they never went anywhere.
Heavily post-processed in Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop– in addition to exposure, shadows, and highlights, I added some tint, sharpness, and a bit of tilt-shift.
My contribution to the Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Intricate. I added a little bit of tilt-shift in post-processing to emphasize the intricacy of the boats massed together in this marina. Down within the marina proper, any one boat is massive, a world unto itself. But from above, all those masts and cranes and prows can be nearly overwhelming. Intricacy is a matter of perspective.
