January 2025 - Gnomes Awaiting Their Single Malt Scotch
Original
About the Image(s)
My wife Terry is very skilled at decorating for holidays. This year at Christmas she had four house gnomes displayed on a living room bar which begged to be photographed in natural light coming from the left side. I photographed them in Canon Raw, then post processed in Adobe camera raw and PS. I did some cropping and played with the camera raw sliders a little bit.
What do you think and what would you do differently?
Camera data: Canon R5, 24-105 F4 zoom lens at 56mm, hand held 1/30, f9.5, iso 3200 (an overcast day)

Hi, Henry,
What a lovely picture and the humor. Your post processing made it perfect. I like the composition and the vivid colors; very festive indeed. I can almost smell the single malt scotch in the air. (haha)

Neat idea, very colourful and seasonal. I wondered about removing the framed texts on the right hand side as being distracting. What do you think? Posted: 01/17/2025 11:15:25
Good idea Andrew. Posted: 01/17/2025 15:03:21
Very cute! It looks like the gnomes are having a very nice conversation. I like Andrew's crop but with a little more room at the top. Nice colors and composition. Posted: 01/20/2025 18:12:41
