Today's photo is an edit on a very boring photo - just played with it in Lightroom till it was dramatically different :D
Here is the sooc image:

New life after the devastating Victorian bushfires.

Brighton Beach Huts

Camera: E-1
ISO: 100
Program: Aperture priority (exposure bias -0.3)
Aperture: f16
Shutter: 1/250
Focal length: 17mm


This looks strangely fake and I did do a bit of adjusting and editing in Lightroom but the original doesn't look much different to this! I was there at a hard time of day to shoot - the sun was low in the sky on a cloudless day which resulted in full sun coming in directly on those huts. But this resulted in being able to get good exposure for both the huts and the vibrant blue sky :)
There were very harsh shadows in the sand so I upped the fill light, and also increased the clarity and the vibrance. Also I cloned out some annoying bushes above the first hut on the right, and to the side of the far hut.
I love it! So bright and vibrant and almost surreal!

Deer Park

Camera: E-1
ISO: 200
Program: Aperture priority (exposure bias -0.3)

Yes this is a lounge in a field. The story behind this is quite funny but I won't go into it here.

This just has to be today's image, I love sun flare, look, it made a rainbow! :D

Gave this a cool tint and changed the light temperature in Lightroom. But this is pretty much how it looked sooc.
I had almost forgotten today's photo. I just happened to have the camera in the car when I was on my way home in the evening. I was almost home when I saw looked out the window and saw this scene then realised I hadn't taken a today's photo yet so I pulled over. Unfotunately I failed to capture what my eyes saw. Turned out spaz but it's all I have for today!

View from Verandah

Camera: E-1
Program: Manual
ISO: 800 (whoops - didn't need it that high, I'd accidentally left it on from the night before, no wonder I had to keep increasing the SS!)
Aperture: f8.0
Shutter: 1/500
Focal length: 54mm


Used a preset in Lightroom that funked up the colours a bit then desaturated the yellow slightly (was a bit TOO yellow!)

The only shot I took today, and only because I had to :D
Looking out over the back verandah at my place at 6pm. We've had a ton of rain over the past few days so everything is flooded.

On a completely unrelated note, my little sis just called from Melbourne - she's getting married! Her husband=to-be gave her the perfect proposal :)
