Adobe Lightroom Trial




All original images were bland typical cloudy NW gray-tone images.   As a trial to Lightroom I wanted to change the images to have a tinted photograph feel, like the old images that captured the imagination of a potential tourists.  This is in comparison to using Apple Aperture.  Apple has several automatic stylized image settings, like a cross between Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, whereas in Lightroom one has many more image fine tuning options.

Snow Day

It's snowing near sea level and my kitty is out there somewhere in the cold.

Cold MTN Tundra Craving

I'm ready for spring to begin.  Canon 40D images were processed using Nikon's ViewNX.  All images are from locations in the San Juan Mountains in CO taken during August of 2009.

This is what happens if someone from church backs into a house.



Trail to Ice Lake near Silverton, CO. 
  

 These last two images are the original Canon files.

Diana Lens

Diana Fisheye Lens on a Canon 40D.  Images processed in Nikon's ViewNX.



This last image was not processed in ViewNX.  Is it me, or is the fisheye effect missing?
