I never really grasped the concept of “workflow” when reading or hearing about it in other photographers’ work. And not to be misleading, I am on winter vacation still, so I am not going all out like some pro’s seem to. (The first day of setting up Lr4, I was appalled at how much time I sat in front of my computer screen.)
But getting into a rhythm has definitely allowed for more of a creative side to take over rather than focusing on the nitty-gritty logistics!
Making the trek back to San Diego in one day!
My family spent a few days out at Mammoth, a ski resort in Mammoth Lakes, California. I didn’t take advantage of the first day’s great weather; clear skies really are valuable. Long story short, I decided not to take any photo equipment to the peak (or outside for that matter) on day two because it was snowing. (Skiing takes priority over photographing unfortunately…)
I’m not sure how conventional this technique is, but on our departure, I rolled down the windows and had a safari shoot in this winter wonderland. I don’t think iPhones are capable of capturing 1/4000 of a second (are they?)
This photo of the church had me puzzled. I was thinking B+W would look good for a lot of these shots while I was in the car. But if I converted this particular shot, I think it would require cropping out the telephone polls. Plus, I like the contrast of the blue sky!
This lost shot had some significant edits; Creamtone preset, then a conversion into B+W (which further reduced orange and red levels in gray scale?), and some desaturation in the upper half of the photo.
PLEASE DO NOT USE THESE (OR ANY) OF MY PHOTOGRAPHS WITHOUT MY CONSENT.
Beautiful shots!
Your photos are absolutely stunning.
Thank you for visiting my blog today. I appreciate the time you took to stop by. May your day be filled with joy and peace.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thank you for stopping by and complementing my shots! I would like to say I am always encouraged by friends and family -and always blessed to see another day by God.
I like the telephone poles! The only thing I might do to that picture is to adjust the perspective so that the poles are straight and tall.
I had discussed that with my brother when he viewed the shot. (He claims that he snapped it…but I’m pretty sure I did.) Thanks again for the suggestion, much appreciated!
Really like the first image on your “safari shoot”. I say to heck with conventional. I agree with Russel Ray on the telephone poles & perspective unless that’s how they actually were when you captured it. Best of luck!
