While I could just take any old snap and post it up here, I do not think that would be right - I would rather go after a shot and not get it than post something that was just a "fill".
Todays pic is one of what I hope will become a set - "New Growth" is how I think of it and it is all mixed up with changes taking place in my life just now and springtime and natural progression.
Don't worry, I am not going to go all David DuChemin on you guys, but things are changing for me and I am spending more time contemplating everything than I have in many years.
Enough of the navel-gazing - here is this weeks simple image, entitled "Potential"
Taken while I was walking in a small nature reserve about 3 miles from my house, I was concentrating so hard on getting the shot I missed a couple of potential images that could have been the subject of a post by themselves.
Rest assured I will try for them again....
Post processing was done in Aperture and was mainly a levels adjustment (RGB), some exposure compensation, a push to the contrast, some minor saturation increase and some burning of the flash highlights to tone them down.
Here is the original so you can see for yourself.
To my mind, this is "washed out" by the fill flash and needs the boosts given to it in pp.
If you disagree, or would like to say anything - leave a comment - all are appreciated.
Till next time.... oh, by the way, this and a couple of others I took today are in the "Project 52" gallery - perhaps you would like to check them out?
PS: I am trying out some techniques put forward in this book
