One from yesterday's early morning stroll.

Beautiful shot! I want to walk around with you.

Left lens correction off as I like the tree on the right, and there are no obviously distorted straight lines.

Nice edits. You reminded me, again, to try a B&W version.

Jade_NL · August 31, 2020, 6:34am

Yeah. It was blue, but I did give it a small boost.

I like the overall look of your edit, but it is a bit flat (washed-out). Try experimenting with the local contrast module. Just turning it on will improve the edit.

Very nice shot, thanks for sharing
My take with DT 321

My edit in Darktable. I have LR on another (Windows) pc so can’t try that now.
I made the grass a little lighter and somehwat more saturation.

Going for a soft, dreamy look

@Jean-Marc_Digne : That’s a really nice edit! Like the darker overall, sun’s-not-fully-there-yet, look.

Great image! Actually, there is not much you have to do to this shot.

Of course you can . I went for a moderate hazy warm look.

I had to try a b&w version, too.

By the way, what is that?

My edit with darktable (which I barely used until now)

I had my doubts, but I was wondering if someone would notice the Grey Heron

Love the B&W btw. Working on one myself atm.

Jade_NL · August 31, 2020, 2:56pm

And my B&W rendition:

darktable: RAW conversion and baseline edit
GIMP: monochrome and final edits.

BTW: Bought myself a tablet to use with, mainly, GIMP. Man I love that thing! Takes a bit getting used to, having 30+ years mouse habits doesn’t help in that regard, but editing is much smoother and precise. Didn’t expect to be this enthusiastic after such a short time.

yet another pictorial look

tokyojerry · September 2, 2020, 1:27am

Very nice. Where is the location of this shot?

Jade_NL · September 2, 2020, 7:02am

This was shot along the Delftsche Vliet (a waterway) on the edge of the Elsenburgerbos (small forest), between Delft and Rijswijk. And that would be in the Netherlands.

Yeah, a tablet is primordial for photo editing and any graphics work. Highly recommended, even the least expensive ones do their job. And it helps a lot to avoid that nasty repetitive strain injury (rsi).

tokyojerry · September 24, 2020, 11:13pm

Thanks for the information. Nice contrasts. I shared it to a friend of mine on Facebook who is from the Netherlands.
