Letchworth Fall 2009

Some shots as I edit them from Letchworth State Park in NY.

Middle falls. 9 shots composted into an HDR shot, contrast tweaked in photoshop.

Trees and Sky
1 image, pseudo-hdr, contrast enhanced.

Way too processed for my taste. Letchworth State Park is gorgeous, I'd love to see the pics without all the extra effects.

A Path Taken
1 shot, hdr lite, contrast enhanced.

3 unprocessed shots of the above. Only processing was to resize, add a border and tag em. No color correction, contrasting, etc added. Straight out of the camera shots.

I like the SoC shots a lot better.

Maybe its just me, but I found the processed shots to be too fatiguing to look at. Its like the pics have ADD, they are trying way too hard to get attention. :lol: "Look at me! Now!"

I agree on the first shot, but processed second one had great colors and I could go either way on the third!

Part of the problem we had was there was 100% cloud cover most of the day, with only a few peeks of sun until we were leaving, so alot of the colors are pretty subdued. (also the skys pure white and boring in most of the waterfall shots)

I ran in to the same issue with my photos from the Monadnocks. The cloud cover made it very difficult to bring out the colors of the leaves. I tried some color correction with my freebie software (haven't splurged yet for Photochop yet ) but I found it very hard to get more clarity from the photos. That and I'm still a noob that is learning by tweaking dials
