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 week 3 I played around a lot in Lightroom….and decided to go bright and bold…using a Stuck in Customs HDR Preset called “Potent Extreme”. However, it was just a bit too potent for me, so I notched down the vibrance a few steps:
It is amazing how washed out the original photo looks when compared to this HDR preset…

Yep, that’s Potent, all right! But I like it – I know what you mean about feeling the need for some colour.

Ive taken to adding a touch of saturation to my images in LR as I think they could do with just a boost, nice job 🙂

Hi Marsha, the colours on the backpacks and people are a little strong but I like the effect on the grasses and marsh.

A little too vibrant for me. I love this photo but the red just jars. Hope you don’t mind me saying this
