I really don’t spend enough time shooting landscapes, instead preferring URBEX or street photography. It’s not that I don’t enjoy landscapes, because I do. I just don’t do enough of it. I really need to do more because I do love the incredible beauty one encounters while exploring the outdoors. Look for more of that from me in the future.
I really enjoyed the years I spent in Greece, though I was not very good at the photography and post-processing thing back then. Still, I did manage to capture a few images I like, this being one. This is a shot of a temple in Sounion, Greece, which was once mentioned in Homer’s poem the Odyssey in the 8th century BC. Pretty old, huh?
Paris is such a beautiful city, with so many places to stroll through enchanted streets in the evenings with someone you love. This lovely road at in the Montmartre neighborhood is just such a place. So, if you ever do get a chance, do take the hand of someone you love and walk along those cobblestone streets and stop somewhere for a nice bottle of red.
… 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.
