In order to keep improving my processing skills, I’m finally getting in touch with filmic and tone equalizer modules in darktable, which are not in my usual and more consolidated flow. Actually, I tend to cook my pictures quite simply, most of the times.
I chose this picture here from Joshua Tree National Park to exercise with a different processing flow, and I admit I’m already quite happy with the result. I think start to understand these modules, since they give me quite some satisfaction.
OK then, after the preamble about my reasons for editing this and how, I’m really curious to see what other “photo cookers” could make of it with all their most variegated tools of choice.
Wow, tough shot. I gave up halfway through, really wasn’t responding well to my “usual” workflow, but I came back and saw how well others managed the foreground and decided I had to have another go. Glad I did! Learnt something new, edited in darktable.
