Hi everyone Hi!!  Hope you had a great summer!


I was looking back through some of the journals that have been posted to the group and realized we haven't had a post-processing challenge in quite some time.  I recently came back from a business trip in California and was fortunate enough to have some spare time to drive around and see the sights.  One of those sights was a very famous shipwreck that is photographed quite often.  For this challenge, I present you with three exposures of this landmark.  Below are the links to three exposures in DNG format.

Let's see a touch of your style!


Please post links to your works below and I'll make a final journal showcasing everyone's versions on 9/25/16.  If you don't mind, I would appreciate if you could shed a little light on your workflow as well.  If you don't want to give up your secrets, that is fine too.  I look forward to seeing what you can do!

<Edit1>Less than two weeks to go!  Provide your edit in the comments below!


<Edit2> Looking for a last minute contest?  

The time when a macro contest was needed!Yes, you heard me, a macro contest! :dummy:

Let's think outside of the box!

:paranoid: Rules - please read carefully :paranoid:
:bulletblue: Take a macro photograph of one or several objects (like a toothbrush, a keychain...) or of a part of the human body (an eye, finger....).
:bulletblue: Leave a comment on this journal with your entry for the contest.
:bulletblue: It has to be a macro photograph and not a closeup, which means that the magnification ratio has to be of 1:1 (an image in which the subject is depicted on the digital sensor (or film plane) in its actual size). If you're unsure, please read THIS article about macro photography before submitting anything.
:bulletblue: Waterdrop/Collisions macros are not accepted.
:bulletblue: Macros of animals/insects are not accepted.
:bulletblue: Your photograph has to be at least 1280 pixels wide (

This was a lot of fun, here is my shot at it. I used the darker first image. I'll try to explain my work flow a bit but it's kinda all over the place haha. I started by messing around with the lighting and focused in on one area. After that I messed with the basic sliders in lightroom and touched up the white balance in certain areas. To make the colors more appealing I then boosted the blues in the tone curve. Somewhere in the middle (i think before the tone curve) I went back and turned it to black and white. The only thing I did after that was boost the contrast and made the yellows brighter and blues darker. Thanks for letting me play with this shot! Beautiful image :)
