Hi Mike, I would PP it. It's a nice view, but it's just kinda dull. I'm not one for vivid colors, but I think this needs a little spicing up to make it pop. I brought up the shadows a bit and ...

ETTR will help in almost every situation. Underexposing, especially at higher ISO's, is going to make noise more visible when adjusting in post. You will have to test this on your own and see if ...

Nice shots Dutch! The clouds really add to the atmosphere of the images. No pun intended, well maybe a little :)

I agree with John. It looks sharp within the range of your DOF. Love trains! I grew up around them for most of my life. Can't wait for Union Pacific to get their Big Boy No. 4014 restored. I hope ...

I like them. The last one is my favorite.

You are very welcome. I just hope it helps you with improving your images when you process them. Obviously all this is not necessary for all images, but it's nice to know that when you have an ...

I too think you're doing great for just using a phone. I like your style and tone of your images. You are off to a good start. Very well done!

Vidau immediately came to mind when I first saw it :) And it was definitely meant as a compliment Mark. I too admire Vidau's creations. I rarely miss his posts.

I see you are stepping into Vidau's territory :) I like it

I used PSE 14 for these adjustments as it's very easy to use in Quick and Expert mode and I'm very familiar with it. I paid about $35-$40 for it when they put it on sale because of the release of ...

What an absolutely magnificent country, and it was expressed very well in your photos. Yeah, I would kinda consider that a little too late at that point :-) But it would give the opportunity for ...

You got some truly incredible shots on your safari. Looks like you had a fantastic time. I'm not so sure I would have slept to well sleeping in a tent. All I would think about is being a midnight ...

Thanks Jon, I will definitely give that a try.

I would think your shutter speeds were fast enough for these images, but if I were that close to bears, I'd probably be shaking a little more than usual :-) Anyway, I edited your images a little ...

Yeah, sorry, that was my mistake. It was my version 5 of LR that wouldn't open my EM5.2 raw files. Once I went with DxO, I didn't used PSE 14 for so long for my raw files, I forgot it did actually ...

Stuart, if you have a Windows 10 pc, you might now be able to open your raw files from your G80 and FZ82 in PSE 14. Windows 10 now opens many different raw files for viewing and I think this ...

Thanks. I'm not sure what happened to EXIF data on the Arches photo, but it was taken the same month and year the Bryce Canyon photo was taken.

A couple from 2mp Olympus C-700UZ (2001) of granddaughter and late wife. A few from the original 6mp Canon Rebel 300D (2003). Arches National Park Utah....note people under arch on left Bryce ...

WOW, that Fuji is impressive for a 16 year old camera!

Nice set of images Pat!
