… if you knew you had only one hour left on this earth? Why not call them before that time comes to tell them how much you love them?

Here’s another shot I edited with my new workflow, which as I noted previously involves merging HDR brackets in Aurora HDR 2018, followed my finishing touches in Luminar. Once I’ve got a solid workflow down, I’ll see if I can record a quick video tutorial to post on my YouTube channel for those who might be ijterested.
I love this old abandoned kitchen at this decaying sanatorium in Germany. I wonder how many people they cooked for in this place. Processing this shot today with the soon to be released Aurora HDR 2018 and already released Luminar Neptune brought back some truly awesome memories of epic urban explorations in Germany, especially in former East Germany. Try epic stuff there! I’ll post more of those shots here, of course. Oh, and if you want to see what the photograph looked like straight out Aurora HDR 2018, before I added finishing touches, take a look at the image second image in this post. Some of you may like that version better, but I really prefer the final version I developed in Luminar.

… and a little bit of that. Â That’s basically how I approach my post-processessing work (the editing of the images) when it comes to my photography. Â For example, I talked about the new Aurora HDR 2018 software the last couple of days, but for me to be truly finished with one of my photographs, in this case, I typically employ more than just one pieces of software. Â Today’s shot is a great example: I used the beta version of the new Aurora HDR 2o18 the merge the five separate images (which capture the various levels of light I encountered at the location) into one base file, made a few slider adjustments to spice it up just a tiny bit, and then exported the file into Luminar (another Macphun product). Â In Luminar, I used a few filters, selectively brushing the effect into the parts of the photograph where I wanted them. Â And that was it. By the way, I’ll discuss both Aurora HDR 2018 and Luminar in greater detail here on the blog, as well as in upcoming video tutorials on my YouTube Channel.
