Another month for the One Four Challenge which you can read about it, and join it here. This challenge is about processing 1 image in 4 different ways over 4 weeks.
And another photo from Oak Hammock Marsh!! There were just a few hikers on the many walking trails and these 2 passed us while I was photographing some cat-tails and assorted details in the marsh.
The colour is a bit washed out but overall I like the photo..with the tall grasses on the left and the curved path on the right…..and the vast marsh in the background.
For the first week edit, I used a new-to-me Lightroom Preset by Light Stalking from their Vivid Presetify set called Vivid Lomo. It certainly added colour(vivid lomo being a very appropriate name for the preset!)..but a bit too much, so I desaturated it a tad and also applied the dehaze filter. A little bit of white balance correction since the clouds were a bit golden due to the preset and this is my week 1 edit:
The golden colours of autumn with some colourful hikers!
The horizon is almost smack dab in the center of the photo which breaks one of the basic rules of composition…so I am thinking that my be a perfect place to start for next week’s edit.
Linking to One Four Challenge week 1 November here.

Love the way the edited photo doesn’t look edited at all, and makes me want to go out for a fall walk on the next sunny day…

Very nice, a good landscape with people doing something interesting ie walking away down the path. Lots of possibilities here 🙂

Nice edit Marsha- golden without overdoing it, which can often happen with presets.

This edit brought out the details in the clouds, which is just lovely. The golden hue makes it look like it was taken at the ‘golden hour’. Very nice. 😀 As for the horizon ‘almost smack dab in the center of the photo’, I’d like to interject that the hikers are at the right place for rule of thirds… so I find the composition pleasing. Looking forward to your future edits this month. 🙂
