July 2024 - Sunset over the 16th Hole
About the Image(s)
I tried a few experiments with this. I took the photo and figured I could edit to get the lighting right. All my edits looked over-processed and I didn’t like the look of some little green marker next to the sand trap so I tried remove on Mobile Lightroom and it removes it with AI. First time I used that. Then, rather than adjusting the lighting, I hit ⬓auto.⬠Not sure how I feel about all that.

The end result has a well balanced exposure, Sue. We're able to appreciate the sky at sunset and still have a properly exposed scene.
Note: we had an issue getting the original posted, and I'm traveling now for the holiday but will get in posted within the week, as it is helpful for comparison. Posted: 07/03/2024 21:59:45

Nice image - well exposed. Each sunset is unique. Regarding the color - it looks to me a bit over-processed (of course, only you know what it really looked like). It could be the cell phone camera - which tends to render images even more brilliant than they appear in reality (perhaps because that's what manufacturers people like) - or your processing in LR. Did you know that after you hit Auto in LR - you can see what it did to all the basic sliders - and then tweak them further. Auto is often a jump start - and from there you can more easily adjust everything. Posted: 07/07/2024 12:45:31
Thanks. First time using auto in LR. I'll have to play around with it.
The grass was a pretty vibrant green to my eye so I was excited to see the auto adjustment. I'm going to have to capture a similar image to get a better sense of how brilliant the colors are when I view in real life. Posted: 07/07/2024 13:13:25

Susan, A beautiful vibrant image. Composition is good. Your golf club might like to have a copy of this to hang on the wall. Posted: 07/19/2024 14:26:21
Thanks! Maybe I'll share with the Facebook admin of the club. Posted: 07/20/2024 04:18:57
Hi Susan,
Beautiful sunset over the golf course with green lawn, trees, and bunkers! It gives me a relaxed feeling. Posted: 07/20/2024 04:04:48

Thanks. It's my current favorite spot to see the sunset with walking distance of my house. Posted: 07/20/2024 04:19:43

What a gorgeous sky, AI or not! The bright tones set off the velvety greens in the grass and with the trees in mid distance, the scene appears harmonious! Nice shot, Susan. Posted: 07/22/2024 16:41:52
Thanks, Pat! Posted: 07/22/2024 23:42:16
I like the exposure for the sunset and trees.I think I would crop out the large sand trap in the foreground.I find the upper 2/3 rds of the shot to be very strong and interesting without the second sand trap. Posted: 07/29/2024 22:47:49
Thanks Wayne. I see what you're saying. One sand trap and it would still obviously be a golf course. Posted: 07/30/2024 02:11:37
