About the Image(s)

This was taken with my converted Nikon Z camera. I wanted it to be more of an intimate landscape. I liked the degradations in the sky and the ’snow-capped’ mountains. I brought it into LR and converted it to b&w, added contrast.

Debbie, this is a lovely landscape with a flower foreground and mountains. I think that LR can convert OK, (I prefer Nik Silver Efex Pro) but you have clouds that are blown out. The best conversion to black and white starts with range of tones you have in color. I would suggest that in LR you isolate the sky with the new masking tool your infared image, bring down the highlights and exposure, then convert it to Black and white. Right now your sky is blending into the mountains. There are also ways to swap the colors in an infared sky, but it is complicated.   Posted: 09/08/2023 12:21:10

There is a lot of potential here to make the image stand out and Lauren wrote it. There isn't anything that I can add.   Posted: 09/17/2023 08:36:05

Debbie,
I always evaluate the image and then look at the comments from others. I agree with Lauren re the clouds especially the ones in the left hand. The rework is great. Susan   Posted: 09/17/2023 17:50:30

The landscape and the framing is very nice, but I too think that the sky should be darker so that the dark sky and the cloud structures are more visible.   Posted: 09/18/2023 04:12:17

I like the way the little flowers in the front, stand out against the hills in the background.

Thank you, Nelson. I was wondering about the remake that I did and the little flowers that are caught in the rocks. Are you talking about those?   Posted: 09/19/2023 16:01:45
