Silver Star in the clouds

1/14/2014
Back to practicing PP work in Lightroom. This one is from April 2005 on the Silver Star Trail in SW Washington. I took this shot because I liked the way it felt but then the photo was flat and didn't do anything for me. But now with a few adjustments I really like it. It now has a surreal feel to it. Which is why I took the photo in the first place!

Thanks for the comments on Isabel's portrait yesterday. I would take a photo of her laying between me and the keyboard (as she is doing most often and right
Now! Which makes it difficult to type) but my desk is such a mess I would be so embarrassed!

Having motivational problem with the cold wet dark and dreary conditions. But in trying to keep with my New Year's resolution of posting more often, (noticed I didn’t say every day.) I'm practicing my PP skills in Light room. Here is another photo  from some time back (June 2010) That wasn't doing anything for me. <br />
This is on the Silver Star trail in SW Washington. So here it is after a little work, I know I went a little too far but with the lack of brightness of late I was feeling it! Now it has a Wow factor that is fun!<br />
Thanks for taking the time to comment. This group is fantastic!

More PP work on photos from our Sept. 2010 TMB trek.
In this shot my son &amp; I are taking a little break, just after crossing the border from Italy into Switzerland. You can see the trail in the center left of this photo, the border was on the ridge in the far left.

What great memories! I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to do that trip with my son!

The sun was out yesterday, I have better photos of the mallard but I really liked the reflections in the water on this one.

Thanks Rick!

    Wonderfully atmospheric. Glad you could 'recover' what your mind's eye remembers. I have a great deal to learn about Lightroom, too, but I use it for all the major adjustments of my shots, with just a few tweaks and special effects in Photoshop these days.

    I love Lightroom but just haven't mastered it. I too practice. This image turned out very well.
