Curbar Tree Sunrise

Curbar Sunrise Trees

Latest shot from Curbar Edge in The Peak District, as I came out of the car park to head up onto the edge itself I was presented with this image, I immediately  downed my bag and set up shot, the result you see, we had a fantastic mist inversion that day and I have many more shots to sort through.

Before & After

Before

After

Todays blog is about photo enhancements, briefly every pro making money uses it and its not cheating or camera trickery, its a tool in as much a way as the the camera itself, I use it to enhance colour, light Dodging & Burning, contrast and mainly to clean the shot removing “dust bunny spots” my biggest bugbear of all.

A quote by the father of landscape photography himself Ansel Adams “Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships.” many of his prints were manipulated in the darkroom with these techniques, I like to think of it as lifting the image to a palatable taste, sometimes you need dreary but it rarely sells, customers want images that lift their sprit evoke a sense of euphoria, no body in truth wants to feel miserable staring at a dull uninspiring image on their living room wall do they?

Opinions count, so do let me know what your views are, this will be part of next weeks Peak District Online Blog

have a wonderful weekend all

Dust Bunnies at 200% everywhere

Rule of 5th’s, 6th’s I don’t know

Well what can I say, generally the rule of 3rds is pretty tight when composing a landscape image, but what happens when your faced with this, I think its probably about 5 or 6  levels horizontal but I still love it as it gets warmer to the top. Was a winter sunrise on Curbar Edge in The peaks, may have some good news later, keep looking I’ll update as soon as I know.

This shot will be part of the next Blog 4 for Peak District Online

Warhol Yachts

Slight curve ball of a shot today, this is my own tribute to Warhol with the yachts at Rhosneigr during a fantastic sunset, really like the way the colours work with each other, may have to try this with some other work, I think I get what he was doing or at least how the image makes you feel, saying that yachts or Monroe, well suppose Monroe wins!
